Whether it’s a telecom tower, broadcast mast or radio pylon, tall structures are a critical part of the UK’s communication infrastructure. But like any asset, they require regular attention to stay safe, secure, and operational.
Rapid Wireless’ Working at Heights portfolio includes the inspection, servicing and maintenance of tall structures keeping networks live and people safe.
Why Maintenance Matters
Over time, even the most robust towers will suffer from environmental wear and tear. Wind, rain, ice, and structural fatigue can compromise their integrity. Loose bolts, corrosion and cable strain are all risks that can lead to failure or signal disruption.
Regular maintenance helps to:
- Prevent costly outages
- Extend asset lifespan
- Ensure compliance with safety regulations
- Reduce the risk of injury or property damage
