Tower Maintenance Contracts
Scheduled tower maintenance that catches problems before they become outages - inspection, grounding, hardware, weatherproofing and lighting on a planned cycle.
- Planned cycle - visits actually happen
- Inspection, grounding, hardware, lighting
- Multi-site cluster programs
- We fix what we find - same crew
The cheapest tower problem is the one you catch on a scheduled visit instead of at 2 a.m. during a storm. A backed-off bolt, a degrading weatherproofing kit, a tired surge protector or a failing beacon all give warning - if someone is looking. Broadband Tower Services runs planned maintenance programs so your sites stay in service and small issues never become outages.
What scheduled maintenance covers
- Structural check - members, connections and splice hardware checked for corrosion, deformation and backed-off bolts; plumb and (on guyed towers) guy tension verified.
- Grounding and surge protection - bonding integrity confirmed and surge protectors checked, since they wear out silently and take gear with them when they fail.
- Feedlines and weatherproofing - cable hangers, bend radius and connector weatherproofing inspected; UV degrades tape over time, so kits get re-checked and re-made before water gets in.
- Tower lighting - obstruction lights and beacons checked and repaired, which keeps the site compliant with aviation marking requirements.
- Site and compound - fence, grounding, ice bridge and general site condition.
Why a contract beats one-off calls
A maintenance agreement means the visits actually happen on schedule instead of being remembered after something breaks. It spreads cost predictably across the year, builds a documented history of each site's condition, and means the crew already knows your towers when something does need attention. For owners with multiple sites, we can structure a cluster program so the whole portfolio is covered on one cycle.
Built around inspection
Every maintenance program is anchored by a proper climbing inspection - photo-documented, with a prioritized punch list of what needs attention now, what to watch and what's fine. Because we climb our own jobs, the same crew that finds an issue can fix it on the spot or schedule it, instead of handing you a report and walking away.
The deliverable
A documented maintenance record for each visit - condition, photos, work done and recommendations - so you always know the state of your towers and have the history when you need it for compliance, insurance or a sale.
FAQ Common questions
Good to know
What does a maintenance contract include?
A scheduled climbing inspection plus the routine upkeep that keeps a tower in service: structural and hardware checks, grounding and surge-protector verification, feedline and weatherproofing inspection, and tower-lighting checks - each visit documented with photos and a punch list.
How often should sites be serviced?
It depends on the tower, the loading and the environment, but a regular planned cycle plus an inspection after any major storm, ice or lightning event is standard practice. We'll set a schedule that fits your sites so nothing gets missed.
Can you cover multiple sites on one program?
Yes. For owners and utilities with several towers we structure a cluster maintenance program so the whole portfolio is covered on one cycle, with consistent documentation across every site.
Do you fix what you find, or just report it?
Both - and that's the point. Because we climb our own jobs, the same certified crew that inspects can carry out the repair, grounding fix, hardware replacement or weatherproofing on the same program.
