Cable Tray – Horizontal 600mm indoor

Cable Ladder – Vertical 300m outdoor

Sectoral – 150mm

Busbar – metal electrical conductor that makes a continuous connection among several circuit, typically a thick strip of copper

Porthole or Feed thru Plate (FTP) – a plate with holes used as an access for the cables from the outdoor to the equipment room.

Bill of Quantities (BOQ) – a document used in tendering in construction in which materials, parts & labor and the cost are itemized.

CIVIL WORKS DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION

Stages
1. Design & Material
2. Tower Foundation
3. Tower Erection

1. Design & Material

 Standard Desin
 Material Specifications
 Tower Supplier Qualifications

2. Tower Foundation
 Excavation
  Lean Concrete/Gravel Bedding
 Rebar Installation
 Formworks Installation
 Anchor Bolts/Setting Plate & Embedded Parts Installation
 Tower Base Casting
 Concrete Pouring

3. Tower Erection
 Tower parts sorting and prepare tools
 Tower Erection sequence
 Lightning Arrester

RFTI Requirements:
1. Full height tower
2. Completed ODU pad or equipment room
3. Completed Service Entrance Pedestal
4. Completed Tower Electrical/Grounding
5. Installed Cable tray from tower to ODU pad or equipment room
6. Installed panel boards
7. With temporary power

ON RETROFITTING:

Why we need evaluations?

1. Changed use or occupancy
2. Manifestation of defects/deficiencies
3. Additional loadings/alterations

Retrofitting can be applicable on:

-guyed tower
-guyed mast
-bipod/tripod
-floor/wall mounted poles

Possible retrofitting works for SST:

1. Solution 1 - extension of deadman/pedestal

2. Solution 2 - concrete block or use counter weight

SAI – Strategic Antenna Installation for IDD

SAI for IDD – retrofit affected parts prior to installation

FDD - complete

EXPANSION WORKS:

1. On Solutions
2. Tower SI
3. Tower Retrofitting

Need to know for retrofitting design:

 Need to know the loadings and wind loads
 Loading means the existing and the additional of proposed loadings
 As-built drawing/plan

PTA – Preliminary Tower Assessment

SI – Structural Investigation
Pertains to the systematic collections and analysis of data, evaluation and recommendations regarding the forms of an existing
structure which have been damaged.

SA – Structural Assessment

SE – Structural Evaluation

Purposes of Conducting SE
1. Develop a performance report
2. Establish building use
3. Serviceability
4. Code compliance
5. Life safety
6. Durability
7. Historic
