Engineering Committee TR-14 is responsible for the ANSI/TIA-222 Standard, “Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures, Antennas and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures” and the ANSI/TIA-322 Standard, “Loading, Analysis and Design Criteria Related to the Installation, Alteration and Maintenance of Communication Structures.” Work is continuously underway to define changes for the next revisions of ANSI/TIA-222 and ANSI/TIA-322. These improvements align the Standards with the latest industry knowledge from applicable reference documents, standards and codes.
