Cell Tower Project

Overview

Future Technologies Limited has been given the opportunity to build a cell phone tower in the city of Capital Heights, Maryland. The awarding of the contract was due to the ongoing phases of commercial and residential  construction in the city. The goal of the cell tower will be to increase network coverage in the newly developed areas, hence eliminating call disruptions for newly established businesses, homes, and any other users in the vicinity.

The cell phone tower will be built in Capital Heights, Maryland, on a portion of the significantly elevated property. The construction of a cell tower that is capable of operating at a high level of efficiency is the goal of the project that Future Technologies are undertaking. The tower will cooperate with the other existing towers to improve the tenants’ overall network connection.

Scope

The scope of the cell tower construction project entails a wide range of tasks, such as site selection, planning, building, and testing. Locating and purchasing an appropriate site for the tower, clearing the area, building a secure storage facility, reinforcing the ground, setting up a power supply center, laying a solid concrete base, erecting a latticed tripod tower, installing antennae, cables, and power, lighting the top of the antennae, and setting up a distribution box are all necessary steps in this undertaking. After construction, the tower will be put through a battery of tests to confirm its readiness.

On the other hand, certain project components to install cell towers are out of the scope of work. These include installing solar panels as extra power sources, adding more dishes to the tower, and modifying the cell tower’s outward look. These pursuits are not a part of the project’s goals, and they go beyond what was originally envisioned for the project’s scope.

Specifications

Microwave systems, towers mounted to buildings, guyed towers, self-supporting towers, and poles, and towers mounted to power poles are all included in the components. The cell tower building is scheduled to be conducted on land that has been zoned for commercial use. The antennas will employ a frequency range varying from 700 to 800 MHZ, and the tower it is mounted on will be between 100 and 200 feet tall. The cell tower should have the capacity to provide service to a number of up to two hundred thousand people.
