WeISt Hlghwly 276. P.O. Box 358 <br />VEIlIII)', NSbras\ca aa084-0388 U.s.A. . (402) 35&-2201 <br /> <br />If there ever was a fal]ure In ~he monopolP .tn1cture, it i5 my opinion that the top <br />section would def.onn or &I kink". The top lection may defonn and bend. but it <br />would not IIhear ofi from the rest of the pole abaft. TherefoJ"O., a clear radips of <br />fifteen to twenty foot around the pole i5 very much 1I~lent to ensnre the reduction <br />of any damage to lurrounding property. <br /> <br />Pole design and testlng hav"~ provic1ac! the pub1fc with i! very rellable produot. Poles have <br />gone through extensive full scale testing, resulting in a history ofbefos extremely reliable. <br />The pub11c I th!nk, bas beet; served well. Valmom bas provided atructurea that have <br />performed well during the cJ8rthquWa in Callfurnia, lhe h\11'1'foaDcs in tha South, and a <br />number of tornadoes. To XU)" knowledge, Valmont has never experienced an fu service <br />failure of a COpml11nil".a.tion pole due to weather Induced overloading, even tho~ as in <br />the casea ofHUrtlcane Hugo and Hurritw1e Andrew, tho w!nd speeds may have oxceeded <br />the design wind speed. <br /> <br />Any construction drawings and dealgn oa1oulatlons pertaining to the monopoles will be <br />reviewed 8nd stamped by aa ensineet licensed by the State ofMinne80ta. <br /> <br />I hope this has helped, P1ellSe :feel free to call with any comments you may have.
