Construction, painting, fabrication of Masts and Towers

We have exposure in fabricating, erecting and painting of telecommunication towers that meet the functional requirements of our clients.

Our team of expert engineers, technical officers and other workers, have with time, attained plenty of experience in the process of handling all kind of towers such as four legged, three legged, guyed masters and mono-poles from top to bottom.

The height and economy of the design will dictate whether the structure has three or four Leg stand Tower.

  • Mast and Tower can be used for several purposes
  • To support radio antennas such as Wireless (Hotspot) point to Multiple points
  • To support Fibre Optic from Base Station to Client Stations via Air -fiber and so on.
  • To support antennas and provide mobile operators coverage for telecommunication operators
  • To support conductors in overhead power lines for electricity companies.

Someka Engineering Masts and towers designs

Our three or four-legged angular iron are self-supporting towers made of triangular angular elements designed on a triangular/square base pattern. The communication Tower is optimized to last-minute modification and modules can easily be interchanged according to the specific site design.


Our towers can be supplied with a variety of accessories, such as platforms, antenna mounts, safety devices, obstruction lights, lightning protection kit and more. All of the accessories can be installed at any desired height and orientation according to customer Specification.


Usage of 3 or 4 Legged Angular Towers:

  • GSM/CDMA Equipment
  • Radars
  • Video Surveillance Equipment
  • Wind Turbine

Available in heights of 20 to 90m, It is designed for light to medium loads, Available with a large variety of accessories that can be easily mounted at any stage, Designed for typical cellular GSM sites.

These are towers and Mast that are stabilized by tethered wires – Guyed towers and Mast are designed and installed in the manner illustrated in the figure .-It takes cognisance of the following specifications and recommended practices:

  • Guyed masts may be in lattice, triangular or square, tapered or straight, as well as monopole structural forms.
  • Guyed masts are supported and held in position by guy wires or ropes.
  • Mast Guy Ropes are made from pre-stretched steel. For every mast, the specified minimum strength of the guy wire is the maximum tension likely to occur in the worst loading condition.
  • Guy wires are not over tightened in the installation of guy towers in order to avoid excessive tension which may cause alignment problems, cable rupture and permanent wrapping of tower structural parts.
  • All sections are straight square sections to eliminate potential problems associated with twisting or the need to shim the legs.
  • Typical tower sections have brace configuration with horizontals (z, x or k) and pivot base sections. These tower-structures are wholly of steel, modular and hot-dip galvanized.
  • Guyed towers have tube or solid legs with solid bracing which increases the tower rigidity to allow for the twist and sway.
  • The design, based on the load calculations determines the working load and the break strength required of the guy wire and ultimately the choice of the size and grade of the wire.
  • The choice of each guy earth screw anchor is dependent on its holding power in the soil, which is a function of its diameter and length to be used to compute the minimum number of guys required.
  • As a general rule, guys is planted in three directions at 120 o apart from each other. The distance from the base of the tower to the guy anchor base is one quarter of the height of the tower.

Self-supporting towers are free-standing lattice structures -Thy use of self-supporting towers with tapered sections, and face width that vary according to height and load capacity.-Recommended when land availability is limited PROVIDED that it is technically feasible. They have the following features:

  • The triangular or square structure
  • Tube legs, angle legs, lattice legs or solid round legs
  • Sections in steel angle steel or steel tubes
  • Steel angle cross bracing.
  • Tapered sections
  • Face widths vary according to height and load capacity.
  • Rest platforms provided every 20 meters of height
  • Work platforms provided at all height where antennas are to be installed
  • Fitted with climbing ladderStandard support forms for lattice structures are specified as follows:
    • Lattice Leg
    • Angle Leg
    • Tube Leg / Solid Round Leg


We denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleas ure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound ensue and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which the same saying through shrink ing from toil and pain that they cannot foresee the pain
