SCOPE:

The existing tower at this site is a 36.0m TEP 6 tower. The scope of study is,
Comparison of the existing Antennas with the original designed Antennas of the tower.

Design Antennas > Proposed & Existing Antennas

846.135 < 878.88 therefore Not OK!

Conclusion:

By comparing the existing & proposed antennas with the Original Designed antennas as shown in
the above tables, it is concluded that the combined load due to existing & proposed antennas is
greater than the Original Designed antenna loads under a windspeed of 39 m/s. Therefore, the
existing tower cannot safely support the existing & proposed antenna loading. A subsequent tower
comparison under a windspeed of 35 m/s is hereby attached for reference.

Existing & Proposed Antennas on the tower : (Basic wind speed @ 35m/s)

Conclusion:

By comparing the existing & proposed antennas with the Original Designed antennas as shown in
the above tables, it is concluded that the combined load due to existing & proposed antennas is less
than the Original Designed antenna loads under a windspeed of 35 m/s. Therefore, the existing
tower can safely support the existing & proposed antenna loading at a wind speed of 35 m/s.
