Designing and Realization of the Control Networks of the Telecommunication Tower Avala

Abstract

The Avala telecommunication tower was destroyed during the NATO bombing in 1999. The construction of the new tower at the same place started in 2007. The new tower consists of reinforced concrete part, with a total height of 142 m, and the antenna part with the height of 70 m. The body shape of the construction is a triangular prism with the equilateral triangle base with sides of 7 m. Civil engineering experts defined structure tolerance of 10 mm in the horizontal plane and 2 mm in the vertical plane. The design was produced pursuant to the principles of surveying profession and the conditions set. The paper describes the complexity of designing the control networks for high-rise buildings. The main tasks presented in this article are as follows: choosing the position of the control network points, defining the measuring plan, the network datum and the precision of measurements, calculation of the network quality criteria, and technical conditions for the realization of measurement.
