TIF WHITE PAPER: APPURTENANCE INSTALLATION IMPACT TO
CLIMBING FACILITIES AND ANTENNA SUPPORTING STRUCTURES

This TIF White Paper is on the impact of new appurtenance installations and how to maintain the design performance required by End Users (defined in White Paper) to antenna supporting structures (each, a “Structure”) and the Climbing Facilities. 

A “Climbing Facility”, as referenced in this White Paper, is intended to be designed in accord with Section 12 of the ANSI / TIA 222 Rev. H standard and incorporates items such as rung and rail, steps, step bolts, climber platforms, and safety climbs. 

This White Paper reinforces current standards in holding that obstruction to the Climbing Facilities shall be a last resort. An Installation (defined in White Paper) shall not cause damage to the Structure, Climbing Facilities, safety climb (if present), or any other known system installed upon a Structure affected by the Installation.
