Due to rapid growth in digital wireless communications, The customer
needed a quick, cost effective means of mounting transmission/reception equipment
in the St. Louis market area. Faced with the prospect of setting concrete foundations
(forms must be constructed, holes must be dug, forms must be put in place, rebar
set, concrete brought in and poured, concrete must cure -- all this weather permitting),
the customer began their search for something better.
|
The customer ultimately decided to have FASTEEL®
install the helical system, engineered and manufactured by Dixie Foundations because
there was no waiting time to erect their equipment. The anchors used were 8" in
diameter by 6' long (available in nine standard sizes), and were installed in pairs
along with an equipment mounting frame, also supplied by FASTEEL®.
The anchors, long used in the utility industry for supporting streetlights and transformer
pads, have allowed the customer to bring their technology to a fast moving market.
