ton–most of the major metropolitan areas.We probably work in 45 states in any year and that’s doing mapping, condition assessment, as well as the guys involved in the weld inspections.” Reese adds that RTS differentiates itself from the competition because of the quality of its work and “the accuracy of our deliverables. We are able to respond quickly with the size of the subcon- tract network we have, and it’s worked for us,” he remarks. “We’re very good with the details and moving the pieces around on the map to make sure we’re accommodating our clients’ require- ments. And, if you’re able to do that, you can be very effective with the subcontract model. If you don’t have good project managers and you’re not good with the details, you will get eaten up by a subcontract model.” What also differentiates RTS are Reese’s own credentials. During the time he worked in the tower business, he became Secretary of the TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) Committee, TR-14, the structural standard for the design of towers in the U.S. He went from there to Vice Chairman, and then Chairman of the Committee from 2006 -2012. So, he was able to leverage his unique background and a lot of experience in the tower industry. “If you’re going to retrofit old towers in the field, you’ve got to be familiar with them, in the first place,” he notes. Of the four employees at RTS, three are in the Reese family. “Jeremy Klapac, a well experienced communications industry veteran, is Vice Presi- dent,” Reese says. “But, my daughter, Shelby, han- dles the office administration and my son, Cody, is our small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) pilot.

(UAS) is revolutionizing many industries. In the tower industry they allow us to access a structure and obtain better photos without climbing. Any- time we don’t have to climb the structure, we are much safer and reduce costs by utilizing a UAS. While there are limitations to what a UAS can do, they are another tool in our toolbox to provide the best solutions for our customers.” In conclusion, Reese maintains that RTS is able to “provide a unique product to support what the tower owners are trying to do .They’re trying to be good stewards with their structures so they can have them for many years and continue to lease space on them. So, their QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) requirements have increased over the past few years. Tower owners were not as diligent years ago in keeping an eye on what was going on with their structures in the field. Today, they have very high standards of what they expect and what they will and won’t allow on their sites. They have increased the QA/QC requirements and we fulfill that goal for tower owners who are having work done on their sites and want us there to witness, verify, and testify what’s being done to meet industry requirements. We have the experience, the attention to detail, and a quality work product.We have a speed and quickness that does not sacrifice safety, and a unique product line that meets the needs of the communications industry.”
