RE:Tower Communications Structure Grounding Repairs.
Dear Jim,
Chicago Communications has been requested to make grounding repairs to the Oak Brook communications
structure grounding system after your recent theft of the ground bar. In addition to taking the ground bar,
they also cut the ground cables to all the transmission lines and the two underground*2 Solid ground ring
feed from the tower and building rings.
In order to make the proper repairs in ordinance to the Motorola R56 standards for tower and Building
Ground, Chicomm is proposing a new"Tinned"Copper Buss Bar to be exothermic welded to the Building and
tower ground ring #2 solid copper feeds. Due to the theft action of cutting the fed cables,the bar will be
mounted lower(1-3'1 to accommodate the shorter feeds and the exothermic welding process.this lowering of
the ground bar and the fact that the cable ground kits were also cut,will require new ground kits with longer
leads.An additional LMR400 ground Kit will be added to the non-grounded cable to protect building equipment
from lightning strikes.The tinned ground buss bar gives the silver/grey appearance of a non-valuable metal,
this combined with Chicago Communications'supply of replacement tamper-proof stainless-steel mounting
hardware is designed to reduce interest in future theft.
