  • Can telecommunication towers be dismantled

    Can telecommunication towers be dismantled

    The Supreme Court held that telecommunication towers are movable goods because they are manufactured off-site, assembled on-site, can be dismantled without structural damage, and are fixed only for operational stability. ACT Technology carries out the safe dismantling of towers that have reached the end of their service life or are surplus to requirements, and relocates them to new sites when necessary. With its expert team, the company provides fast, reliable, and environmentally responsible dismantling solutions. It covers every stage from initial conception to final decommissioning. A telecom tower is a long-term asset. Marketability test: If the property, even if attached to the earth or to an immovable property, can be removed and sold in the market, it can be. We provide accurate and safe dismantles for guyed, self-supporting and monopole structures, smoke stacks and ground and elevated tanks.
