| Water Towers can come in
all sizes
and shapes. Most are 1 to 4 stories high. In the area where I
live, Mendocino,
CA, most are 2 and 3 story towers.
I have developed sets of Engineering
and
Architectural Plans for some common designs. Some of the
plans
are structural skeletal framework and others are enclosed. They
are
capable of supporting water tanks of 2,000 gal. You can also use
them as Lookout Towers, Signs and windmill supports.
You can Pick and Choose
the features you want to add to our basic tower designs. Or, you
can select one of the Design &
Complete Packages and take advantage of some better pricing than
picking components individually. We can also Custom Design any
type of tower.
These plans are far less expensive
than you would pay to have them designed by other engineers or
architects. The reason being is that they are already done and
assembled to your specifications. By ordering our standard plans
you are getting them for 10-30% of what it would cost you to have them
designed by others. Since most all the plans are already in CAD
systems and the calculations on spread sheets, they are relatively easy
to modify for most situations. Each set of plans is customized
for your area for wind, seismic, geologic and snow loads. As a result,
you can also get the plans fairly rapidly. Much quicker than
starting from scratch.
The 1 story versions are about 12
ft tall,
the 2 story versions are about 20 ft. tall, the 3 story versions are
about
30 ft. tall and the 4 story versions about 40' tall. They are
10',
12', 14', 16' or 20' square at the base. For more
information on the type of plans, see Tower Plans.
We can also do Custom Designed
Towers. Some of these can be very custom and designed to meet any
sort of commercial, industrial or residential needs.
All plans are signed by a
California Licensed Structural Engineer or Architect.
