Towers & Climbing
Collins’
experience with the development of inspection programs, the
authorship of inspection manuals, the management of structure
inspection programs, and the field inspection of thousands
of bridges, trusses and other structures provides a unique
team of professionals possessing a very diverse background
in structure inspection work. We bring this experience and
knowledge to the inspection, analysis, and rehabilitation
design of communication towers.
To determine the presence of any defects and analyze the tower
for existing and future loading, Collins’ engineers
perform climbing inspections of towers and tension testing,
in addition to various methods of nondestructive testing.
Collins’ services include guy anchor analyses, detailed
evaluation report writing, and repair designs for overstressed
tower components.
Collins’ service offering extends to underwater engineering.
This unique capability allows our certified engineer-divers
to inspect and evaluate foundations and components located
in water, in addition to providing inspection of above water
components. This duality enables Collins to provide comprehensive
engineering services for communication towers.
