The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandates cell tower inspections for safety, maintenance and extending the life span of the infrastructure. Existing cell towers require general inspections as well as after the event of a natural disaster. Potential sites for new cell towers also require inspection. Cell tower inspections involve a lot of manpower and are tremendously risky. The inspection list for a cell tower is detailed, including the structure of the tower, electrical and lighting systems, guy wires, antennas, anchors and transmission lines. From maintenance to monitoring encroaching vegetation, cell tower inspections are an integral aspect of the preservation of the infrastructure.
