Integrated antenna supports and their components

‘OK’ integrated antenna support is a reinforced concrete pole SK26.2 with attached steelwork including a head end and a superstructure. Head end is a quadrangular area measuring of 2 x 2 meters. It can also be used for keeping transceivers thereon. To increase the height of the equipment attachment, ‘OK’ antenna masts are completed with mast-like superstructures 2 m to 20 m high, consisting of units of 2 m or 5.5 m. A cage ladder is provided for climbing the support.

Supports are mounted by attaching steelworks to the reinforced concrete pole with the subsequent crane lifting. The support is installed into a drilled hole and is secured with two steel crossbars in mutually perpendicular directions.

 

Crossbars and reinforced fabric used to join them at two height levels are concreted, forming a monolithic reinforced concrete slab, also functioning as pavement.

Specifications for ‘OK’ antenna supports:

Item code	OK. gh *
Altitude	h = [22 – 42] m
Superstructure type	ОК.S2	ОК.S2
Unit height	2 m	5,5 m
Unit belt material	round rolled steel

*) ‘gh’ in the item code means antenna support height (m).

Upon the customer’s request ‘OK’ supports can be equipped with cable systems for fall prevention.

To repair or equip the already built integrated supports we offer a full set of steelworks according to the components list for ‘OK’ supports .

The offered head ends enable attaching up to 6 wireless antennas and 2 RRS-antennas with a diameter of 0.6 m to the supports.

The height of the existing supports can be increased using the universal superstructure units 2 m long (OK.S2) and 5.5 m long (OK.S5). The use of these units gives the customer an opportunity to select the optimal antenna support necessary.

Multifaceted monopoles

Multifaceted joist web monopoles are a modern alternative to the integrated supports with reinforced concrete bases and telecommunications tower through a number of advantages:

Strength. The conical shape and dioctahedral monopole cross-section create a light, strong and durable structure.

Reliability. Steel multifaceted monopole is able to withstand wind and vibration 2-3 times greater than the standard reinforced concrete supports.

Durability. Multifaceted monopoles have a service life of 50 years, which is 2 times greater than that of the integrated supports and is comparable with the service life of telecommunications towers but at a lower cost.

Safety. Communications wiring and power wiring harness are protected by the outer walls of the monopole, which makes them “vandal-proof”.

Economy. Light weight deprives multifaceted monopoles of heavy foundations, and facilitates their delivery to the installation place, as well as significantly simplifies the installation process (there is no need for special lifting devices).

As a result of these and other features the total cost of multifaceted metal monopoles can be significantly lower than when using the communication towers. Besides, the durability and the payload are substantially higher than those of integrated supports.
