I need a structural engineer to design a screw footing for an 8m high hinged radio communication pole. The installation site has sandy soil. Requirements: - Design a secure and stable screw footing - Ensure the design accommodates an 8m high hinged pole - Experience with sandy soil conditions - Structural engineering expertise Ideal Skills: - Structural engineering degree - Experience with communication pole installations - Proficiency in footing design for sandy soils - Strong analytical and design skills Please provide relevant experience and a detailed approach in your bids. Please see attached, 2 x alternate designs for the 8m high hinged pole (note the Base Reactions are similar for the 2 designs). Also please note the test results from Stopdigging and the screws used for these tests)

Hi there! As a professional Structural Engineer with extensive experience in communication tower foundations and screw pile technology. I will execute the project in the following phases: ☑ Phase 1: Wind Load & Base Reaction Analysis – I will verify the provided base reactions against ASCE or local wind codes for an 8m height, ensuring the foundation is designed for the worst-case "hinged" operation and operational wind speeds. ☑ Phase 2: Soil Interaction & Geotechnical Review – I will analyze the bearing capacity of the screws in your specific sandy soil profile, accounting for potential loose-sand settlement. ☑ Phase 3: Screw Pile Specification & Sizing – I will select the optimal screw type, helix diameter, and embedment depth required to achieve the necessary Factor of Safety (FoS) against both tension (uplift) and compression. ☑ Phase 4: Connection & Base Plate Engineering – I will design the interface between the hinged pole base and the screw pile cap, ensuring the bolt pattern and plate thickness can handle the localized stresses during the hinging process. ☑ Phase 5: Final Stamped Deliverables – I will provide a comprehensive structural design report, detailed CAD drawings of the footing, and a specific installation specification I'm looking forward to hear from you, Thanks
