Irrefutable Laws of Tower Management

What goes up; must come down, eventually.

The crane is 3 feet too short, including the jib.

The utility locate markings are done correctly; on the wrong street.

I think I left my hardhat at: ______________ (fill in fast food establishment here).

Time saved is money squared; and money saved is time squared.

Of course I shipped the anchor bolts, what do you think I . . . . . ooops!

Your tie-off point was just judged by the engineer of record to be 4995 pounds.

If the rebar is late. . .the concrete is early.

Nobody told me there weren’t step bolts on this monopole.

Battery powered radios only run out of juice in excess of 327 feet above ground level.

Sorry, I left my climbing gear in the other truck.

Power to the site has been scheduled for. . . ummmm, well?

__________(Fill in name) said you were bringing the slings.

I filled the generator last Friday. . . didn’t I?

For every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction; usually in the wrong direction.

Insurance statistics give relevant meaning to uncertain conjecture.

Murphy’s Law: What can go wrong will go wrong and at the worst possible time.

O’Toole’s Law: Murphy was an optimist!

With the potential number of things that can go haywire increasing by the hour, it’s nice to know that some things are certain. NATE is in my corner and I count on them. They help me take better care of my business by taking care of my crews. Membership in NATE has been one of the easiest decisions in the last decade. My NATE membership works for me.

Safety First . . . Safety Always!
