INTRODUCTION

Tower load comparative study for main site no. ZND090 was performed to compare
the design load against the actual load to determine its feasibility to support the
existing and the proposed new antenna loading to be used for LTE Project 2011.

Refer to pages 4 to 7 for the detailed comparative study of the tower original design
loading and actual loading. Tower existing loading condition and proposed new
antennas and tower physical condition and other relevant information are tabulated on
pages 9 to 11. For information on tower mast geometry and member sizes, see
attachment.

CONCLUSION

The results show that the tower meet the criteria of 39 m/s (140KPH) basic wind
speed. The original design load of the tower is greater than the present actual load and
it is indicative that there is no increase in antenna loads. Hence, we can conclude that
the tower can safely support the existing and the proposed microwave antenna loading
for LTE Project 2011
.

TOWER DEFLECTION

As per original design loads:

ELEV. 45 m/s WIND SPEED 33 m/s WIND SPEED

(m) DEFLECTION (mm) ROTATION (deg) DEFLECTION (mm) ROTATION (deg) ALLOW. TILT/SWAY (deg)

36.00 79.70 0.24 44.00 0.13 0.50

The above shown tower deflection is based on the original design loads (attached); considering
that the existing + proposed antenna loads are less than the original design loads, thus actual
tower deflection will be lesser than the deflection due to original design loads.
