Abstract:
This report describes the project on Developing Design Guidelines for Economical Greenfield
Self Supporting Telecommunication Towers funded by the Senate Research Committee of the
University of Moratuwa.
The report explains the need for the project, the objectives, methodology and the scope of work
that was carried out. It discusses the literature that was studied to determine existing design
guidelines and current design methods that are adopted in the design of such towers. The
findings from a survey of towers recently designed are examined and analysed within the report.
The report concludes with the outcomes of the project.
