6. Towers Design & Development
Aster engineering division has qualified and experienced structural design engineers. We have developed over 200+ designs complying with multinational tower standards.
Towers are designed using latest software based programs taking into account various parameters such as
Added Loads : Antennae, Conductors, Ground Wires, Insulators, Lights and Other Accessories etc.,
Climatic Loads : Wind, Seismic, Ice and Temperature etc.,
Technical Considerations : Topographical Factor, Dynamic Effect of wind, Risk Coefficients, Factor of Safety, Certification Standards requirements etc.,
