A Discussion on Corrosion Protection of Communication Tower
At present,there are a large number of communication towers in stock in China.With the extension of operation time,the corrosion problem is increasingly apparent.This paper summarizes the anti-corrosion design and corrosion status of communication towers at home and abroad.Combined with the field investigation,it is found that the corrosion of communication towers in China is mainly concentrated in anchor bolts,fasteners,tower materials,ladders,and metal stay wires.The corresponding protection countermeasures and suggestions are proposed for new,modified and existing towers.
