I am trying to get a permit to erect a US Tower TX455, 55' tower at my home in
SW Portland. The City of Portland Development Services is asking for several
items to prove that the tower conforms with the "Oregon Specialty Structural
Code and/or other city, state, and federal requirements". I have purchased
drawings and documentation from US Towers which will hopefully satisfy most of
the 8 items they have listed. One item I would like to push back on is the
requirement to hire an inspection company to verify that the steel and welding
are correct. The gentleman I talked to at City of Portland Bureau of
Development Services said they would expect the the inspection company visit US
Tower to verify their manufacturing procedures and that their welders are
qualified. This seems like overkill to me given that the tower in question is
an off the shelf item. I would like to hear from anyone that has got a tower
permit in the city of Portland in the past couple of years. Chuc
