New TIA 1019 Revision A, Standard for Installation, Alteration and Maintenance of Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas

TIA 1019A, “Standard for Installation, Alteration and Maintenance of Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas,” has just been released and is now available from Document Center Inc.  The new 90 page standard provides construction considerations and loading requirements for structures under construction related to antenna supporting structures and antennas.

The Standard addresses the requirements for specialized equipment such as: gin poles, hoists and required temporary supports.  It provides criteria based upon both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) methods.

Figures and drawings in this Standard are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to represent all potential aspects of a particular lift or rigging situation. It is the responsibility of the user to determine an appropriate rigging plan in accordance with this Standard for construction activities accounting for all loads, forces and reactions.

This new Revision A contains all past information which exists in the current TIA-1019 “gin pole” version with the following new material added:
● Section on special construction considerations unique to towers;
● Complete section of design loading for construction equipment and structures;
● Specifics for complete rigging plans.

The new revision was developed with the goal of improving tower construction safety and preventing future construction accidents and structure collapses.  It was authored by the TIA TR-14.7 Subcommittee on Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures.
