Paulding, Ohio\u2014The Paulding County Commissioners received confirmation today from a Structural Engineer that the county-owned communications tower located at the west end of the county fairgrounds parking lot is not currently at risk for failure.<\/p>\n
The reported overloads in the engineering study produced for Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative, Inc. are for iced condition (40-MPH wind with 1\u201d radial ice). For the no ice condition (90-MPH wind with no ice), the tower and foundations all have significant reserve capacity.<\/p>\n
The reported overloads are due to the fact that the newer ANSI\/TIA-222-G standard includes more stringent ice requirements for this location, compared to the 222-F standard which was used for the original tower design.<\/p>\n
Effective immediately, Fairground Drive in the Village of Paulding will be reopened for travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
