To Build a Tower: Part 1 - GeoTechnical Drill

The first first step in designing a radio tower is the foundation. This requires determining the quality of soil where foundation will be built & installed. Soil test was done by a radio-controlled drilling rig. This test went 40' in depth, with samples "spooned" every 5'.
This site was designed for Mid-Atlantic Broadband Cooperative (mbc-va.com), by RAF Wireless (rafwireless.com). It will be a 192' monopole, located in Appomattox VA & will support Last Mile fiber connectivity for Digital Bridge's WiMAX deployment around Appomattox, called BridgeMAXX.
