Tighten the beam clamp to the strap. Then use a connecting nut on the
protruding bolt:

Then you will have a nice tapped hole to mount all kinds of things to.

Not a bad idea, we hadn’t thought of that one. The silo owners might be
nervous about that, but it shouldn’t put any noticeable metal fatigue on the
bands due to welding. We’ll ask about that. You don’t have any tower mounts
that clamp down to ¾” in diameter do you? Clamping around it and welding at
the same time would really give it some strength.
We have worked on one silo in the past that used Ken’s suggestion of the Rohn
clamped to it. That would definitely work, we were just hoping for something
that would be quicker to implement.
As always, we appreciate the ideas,

Weld to the bands?

Thanks Colin,
I think the diameter of the silo will probably rule these out. It looks
like it would be a great option for silos with smaller diameters, but the ones
we are working with are 30-40 ft in diameter. The banding might be an option,
but it will be tough to get around the top of the silo with a large diameter
without a boom truck. We may have to bring in a boom truck, but are planning
to do our work from the ladder and attach our equipment close to the ladder for
serviceability.

Oh, here there are some. Banding and tension tool:

Clamps that work with the banding, although these are a smaller model that
may be more for cable than pipes:

What is the diameter? If not too big, you may find some of the chimney
mounts here useful: https://www.sitepro1.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=776
It may be easier to put your own metal band setup, there must be some
specific blocks that you can use to both tension them and create a solid
mounting point.

We have a new project in which we will be using cement stave solid for
a couple of tower locations. They aren’t ideal for our application, but they
are the only tall structures in the area we need two towers and the project has
to be complete by the end of the year, so we are not going to have time to
build any kind of alternate structure. The silos have a round metal band that
runs horizontally around each level of the cement staves. We plan to attached
a pole vertically to several of those bands so that we can mount our equipment
on. Each pole will be attached to 3-4 of the bands. We are wondering if
anyone has done that in the past and what they have used. Our go to bracket
for towers is the M-TOW-A from Chuck, but they aren’t the right application for
this. Chuck, I don’t know if you have something else that would work better,
or has anyone seem a bracket/clamp that works well for this application? We
are thinking a clam type clamp that clamps to the horizontal metal band (it is
tough to get a bracket between the metal band and the cement stave) and will
clamp to a vertical pole would be a winner, but haven’t seen anything like
this. Anyone done this in the past?
