Program 10
The tower that lives in the wind.

TowerForge designs the towers that carry bucket elevators, distributors, and the head of a handling line, in lattice or monopole form. It sizes the legs, the bracing, and the base for the loads a tall, exposed structure sees.

A handling tower lives in the wind. It is tall, slender, and loaded at the top, and in many regions it carries ice. TowerForge builds the wind and ice load cases for the site, then checks the lateral bracing system that keeps the tower standing.

02What it checks
01

Wind on the tower and the equipment it carries.

02

Ice load and the combined wind-on-ice case.

03

Lattice bracing or monopole shell, including buckling.

04

Leg members and the load path to the base.

05

Anchorage and overturning at the foundation.
