Capacity Enhancement
Maximise tower capacity and remove or reduce the need for tower strengthening with our unique engineering capabilities.
Our industry leading engineering capabilities, supported by the R&D, data and intellectual property we have on third Party towers, allows Indara and Structel to realise additional latent capacity in towers that delivers value through time and cost savings on third party towers.
Engineering Assessments
Our goal is to deliver the most effective and efficient management of tower capacity for our customers to ensure access to existing towers with minimum delays and upgrade expenditure.
Structural assessments can be conducted for proposed or existing guyed masts, monopoles and lattice towers. We pride ourselves in great customer service and efficiency and will agree a completion date for all work at the time of order.
Mount and Headframe Designs
We can design new antenna mounts and headframes to facilitate customer antenna configuration to attach to a tower or building. We also structurally assess existing mounts for proposed changes in loading conditions.
Structel provides full fabrication drawings for new mounts. This enables manufacture by local suppliers hence assisting with the speed and cost of construction.
Tower Upgrade Design & Implementation
If a current tower does not meet your requirements, Structel can deliver a solution that will save you time and money. The Structel team of highly qualified engineers can tailor a tower strengthening design specifically to meet your needs at a significantly lower cost than constructing a new structure.
Strengthening can vary from a minor foundation upgrade to bracing or replacing lattice tower members to an in-house developed “Steel Jacket” pole strengthening method.
Our engineering team can deliver innovative, cost effective, modular tower upgrade options to increase the capacity of almost any tower. These solutions can typically be installed with minimal disruption and impact to existing installed equipment. The Structel team is also experienced in managing simple tower upgrades or entire turnkey installations.
Design Manuals
The extensive tower and engineering experience accumulated by Structel can be accessed by our customers who would like support compiling design manuals and engineering guidelines ensuring desired objectives are achieved whilst meeting regulatory compliance.
General Consultancy
Our full suite of solutions of structural engineering products and services provides you with a one stop shop for identifying and quantifying engineering problems; assessing the options and viable solutions; and supplying detailed designs that allow you freedom when sourcing installation and construction services.
In addition, Structel can provide advisory services in relation to engineering and structural capacity management for the support of telecommunication infrastructure owners and anyone involved in wireless network deployment.
