One of the few possibilities remaining for Telecom Towers placement is on the roofs of high-rise buildings, which is becoming more common.

Certain requirements necessitate the installation of a mobile tower

A minimum of 1200 square feet of space is required for tower installation if it's on your roof. For mobile tower installation, the land area must be at least 2000 square feet.

If possible, the home or building should have at least a G+2 storey, and it should be the highest in the vicinity.

Documentation

It's impossible to complete something as critical as a mobile tower installation without adhering to the appropriate paperwork and regulations. Only with the explicit authorization of the sanctioning authority, one can install Telecom Towers.

Start following up with the paper trail to obtain permission for a mobile tower installation:

• A strict protocol adhering to the invigilation of the location and nearby businesses is required. For obvious reasons, it is against the law to erect towers close to educational institutions or medical facilities.

• Legal occupancy certificate, as well as a certified copy of the building's approved plan.
• Documents proving the owner's right to an object are called ownership.
• The applicant and the building owner have consented to the installation, as shown by the lease agreement indicating their agreement.
• Detailed drawing of a tower's foundation and design specifications.
• Elevation data, including the height of the tower, should be provided.
• If the proposed location has high or low tension electrical wires, paperwork showing the distance between the tower and the lines is required.
• Measured in metric tonnes, the height of the tower.
• Accepting responsibility for incidents caused by this installation and pledging to pay appropriate compensation when necessary are both parts of the indemnity contract.
• The fire department's letter of approval.
• Copies of all required papers showing conformity with the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

The project's timeline calls for a two-year completion timeframe. If the permission isn't finished, it may be extended for a charge if the request is made before the original permit expires.

The tower will be demolished if this action is not taken.
