Do you need qualifications to dismantle a telecommunications tower
Quick Answer: To become a tower technician, complete a training program at a trade school or technical institute (2-6 months for a certificate), then earn required safety certifications (OSHA 10, TTT, Competent Climber/Rescuer). PTTG has experienced crews available to help when owners determine they no longer need their tanks, towers, or other structures and require them to be dismantled and removed, including scrap disposal and site cleanup. Telecom tower safety standards are the most important guidelines in the telecommunications industry. MRS Training & Rescue is an approved PASMA Training Centre and we are audited each year to ensure we continue to provide the standard. Sometimes, due to technology upgrades, urban expansion, lease issues, or cost inefficiencies, telecom operators must decommission — or shut down — certain tower sites. ACT Technology carries out the safe dismantling of towers that have reached the end of their service life or are surplus to requirements, and relocates them to new sites when necessary.
