Is it possible to erect a tilt-up tubular tower on a mountainous site?
The tubular tilt-up tower can be installed almost anywhere. Of course the task is much easier if the terrain is relatively flat, but it can be installed on a sloped site. In that case, it is important to first determine the best direction to raise the tower. It should be done in a way that the tower is assembled in the uphill direction in priority and in dominant wind direction if possible. Also, depending on the field, the side guy wires might need to be adjust more often as the tower is raised. It is interesting to note that with the use of AAT unique gin pole assembly (patent pending), which allows lifters guy to be adjust throughout the raise, the angle of the gin pole can be modified at the end of the erection to fit site slope.
