Detailed Structural Analysis and Tower DesignStructures are analysed by our in-house engineering department using industry standard structural analysis packages: MS Tower, DE Tower, Staad and Open Tower. On completion of the assessment, a comprehensive tower design appraisal report is published, highlighting the applicable loading criteria along with the maximum calculated utilisation of the main structural elements. |

Tower Strengthening and ExtensionExtending a tower can often provide a useful way of increasing the volume of sharers on a tower, or simply to assist with mobile coverage that the MNO’s require. OVNI Consulting Engineers has experience of designing, fabricating and installing tower extensions to suit specific clients’ briefs. Whether it be a tower extension to cater for the immediate needs or designed with built in future capacity, OVNI Consulting Engineers can accommodate. |

Structural InspectionsThe need for connectivity in urban environments has never been as important as it is today, therefore the need for stealth and rooftop sites are essential, resulting in telecommunications equipment being installed on aged buildings and infrastructure. OVNI Consulting Engineers deploys engineers to review the parent structure and the site in its entirety, with the aim of reporting factually and accurately. |

Engineering Solutions and MaintenanceMaintaining sites is essential to ensuring the continued integrity of towers and buildings. Our Site Audits and Structural Inspections recommend suitable maintenance and engineering solutions that should be undertaken, ranging from bolt replacement, grouting the underside of monopoles/tower legs, replacing damaged or corroded members, replacing fall arrest systems or installation of a suitable anti-climb system. |

DecommissioningSite Audits can often highlight legacy equipment that should be removed from the structure to gain additional structural capacity. OVNI Consulting Engineers has experience in undertaking the decommissioning of equipment at height using rigging and lifting techniques, to full tower decommissioning using cranes and heavy-duty plant. |
