Profile

Mr. Harling specializes in structural engineering with an emphasis on failure investigations and maintenance activities (inspection, acceptance) of antenna carriers since 1995. His experience includes investigations about flaws and failures of all kinds of antenna carriers, in detail concrete towers (large TV-towers / radio towers), prestressed centrifugally concrete masts, steel masts (lattice and tube). He is also an expert for the special requirements of the extension of existing tower structures (chimneys, wind power stations) with antennas. His background is basing on numerous static calculations, design reviews and assessment of structural behaviour of tower structures using nonlinear static and dynamic analysis techniques. Mr. Harling is doing his doctorate about „ Design of centrifugally concrete masts - Close to reality limitation of cracking and deformation” at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany. Since 2009 he is also state registered expert for antenna carrier structures (publicy appointed and sworn by the “Ingenieurkammer Bau NRW”, March 2009).
