TV24 Desk: edotco Bangladesh, an integrated telecommunications infrastructure services company, providing end-to-end solutions in the tower services sector deployed its first ‘Spun Prestressed Concrete (SPC) Tower’, the organization’s newest structure at Manikganj Sadar today. This latest innovation designed in house by edotco engineers is a unique combination of steel & concrete materials and is the first time a composite structure is used to build telecommunications infrastructure in the nation.
This 33.3m height SPC Tower provides higher stability, ensures improved network connectivity and requires less production time. The high tensile steel wires used inside the pole ensures proper firmness and increases the resistivity of the SPC pole, making it highly resistant to heavy rains, storms and other natural disasters while guaranteeing uninterrupted connectivity.
