USER MANUAL FOR WTS TOWERS
GROUND COMPACTION DEGREE
Surfaces such as hard ground or gravel can vary in strength depending on the relative humidity. This
relative humidity varies throughout the day, so the resistance of the ground to absorb the stress of the
tower loaded also varies. Positioning a tower in these conditions can result in the ground falling under the
tower supports, being able to cause a serious accident.

To avoid this, it is advisable to put bases in the support, to facilitate uniform distribution on the ground,
expanding the contact surface of each support. The following table lists the minimum area of these
surfaces.
