I'm preparing to dig a 5'x5'x8' hole for a US Tower HDX-572. Because of the
proximity to a sidewalk, I would prefer that the top of the foundation be at
the same height as the sidewalk, rather than 6" above grade. I assume that
tower foundations are normally above grade to minimize that chance for
standing water at the base of the tower. Is this assumption correct?
Assuming that standing water isn't a problem and that I keep the area around
the base of the tower free of debris, does anyone see a problem with keeping
the foundation level with the grade?
