TOTEMTOWER can accommodate panel antennas and dish
antennas up to 60 cm inside its structure, without the outer
cladding compromising their radio-electric performance.
These structures are available in heights of 20 to 40 m, and can
be supplied with any type of reproduced image and external
colouring, either uniform or shaded.
The possibilities for reproducing images on the outer cladding are
virtually unlimited. calzavara is able to carry out investigations to
locate suitable digital photo material for reproduction.
Alternatively, Customers may send images the plan to reproduce,
on high resolution digital photo media. calzavara will send one or
more graphic simulations of the outer cladding.

WIND LOADS
In accordance with the requirements of EIA standards 222: basic
wind speed equivalent to 100 mph.
The structures are also tested in accordance with Italian
standards, for wind zones from 1 to 3, roughness class D, category
II and Ct = 1.0.

The LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM consists of a lightning

conductor with a pick-up device, secured to a rod at the top of the
structure (art. LKPI).
The GROUNDING SYSTEM, which carries the electrical discharge
picked up by the lightning protection system to ground, consists
of a set of copper-plated or galvanized ground rods and copper
ground plates, connected to each other by a copper conductor.
The system ensures equipotentiality of the structure (art. GRPI).

GALVANIZATION
All metallic materials, except for stainless steel and non-ferrous
parts, are protected by hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with
ASTM A123 and Euronorm EN 1461 standards.

They are available in various lengths and can be fitted with

protection covers.

TWIST & SWAY

Maximum twist and sway at the summit, with a constant wind
speed of 100 Km/h blowing over the whole length of the tower, is
less than 0.5 (30).

The VERTICAL CABLE TRAY, made of 20 mm tubular sections,

is positioned close to the climbing ladder, along the whole length
of the tower.

The AIRCRAFT WARNING SYSTEM conforms to ICAO or FAA

standards. For day-time warning, the top third of the structure is
painted red and white; the night-time warning system comprises a
low intensity light unit with steady red light (art. S..).
As an alternative, both day-time and night-time signalling can be
provided by a medium intensity light unit with white flashing light
(art. SEGS2320K).
