The National Association of Tower Erectors has unveiled an Anchor Corrosion video as part of the Association’s acclaimed Climber Connection campaign.
The video provides detailed information on the conditions and factors that contribute to anchor corrosion on guyed-towers. The video also includes practical testimonial footage from a tower climber highlighting the options available to the industry to mitigate and eliminate anchor corrosion.
“Anchor corrosion is an issue that all tower climbers need to be cognizant of and this video is a great resource for the industry’s elevated workforce to utilize to help combat corrosion at guyed-tower sites” said Ryan Schock from Design Telecommunications Inc. in Charlottesville, Virginia. “It is paramount that workers at the tower site be familiar with the factors that lead to anchor corrosion and also the tools available to eliminate the corrosive effects of the anchor,” added Schock.
