Towers & Direct Embedded Poles

Towers and direct embedded poles are essential structural solutions for wireless communication, industrial monitoring, security systems, and infrastructure applications. These structures provide the elevation, stability, and load capacity required to support antennas, cameras, sensors, and networking equipment in demanding outdoor environments. RSP Supply offers a broad range of tower systems and direct embedded pole options designed for long-term structural performance and reliable operation.

Direct embedded poles, also referred to as direct burial poles, are installed directly into the ground without the need for anchor bases or concrete foundations. This installation method reduces hardware requirements while creating a clean, streamlined appearance. Because a portion of the pole is buried below grade, pole length and soil conditions must be carefully considered to ensure proper height, strength, and stability.

Tower configurations include guyed, bracketed, fold-over, and self-supporting designs to accommodate a wide range of site constraints and application needs. Guyed towers use tensioned guy lines for lateral stability and are well suited for taller installations in open areas. Bracketed towers attach to buildings using structural brackets, making them ideal where roof load limits or space constraints prevent freestanding installations. Fold-over towers allow the upper portion of the structure to be lowered for safe maintenance access, while self-supporting towers provide freestanding stability in locations with limited available land. All metallic towers and poles must be properly bonded and grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements to ensure electrical safety and equipment protection.
