Karl Tashjian
I worked at Tri-Ex Tower Corporation from 1985 to 2000. While at Tri-Ex, I was the engineer of record for hundreds of towers. While at Tri-Ex, I worked on tower designs for the amateur radio, cellular, FM, TV, AM radio, and the US Army.
In 1997, International Tower was formed from Tri-Ex Towers and S&G Communication. ITI specialized in tall towers for the broadcast industry. While at ITI, the engineering group which I was in charge of engineering and designed several candelabrum towers approximately 2,000 feet tall, 1860′ tower 10′ face tower in Louisiana, a 1,000 foot tall candelabrum in downtown Atlanta guyed at 35%, along with many other tall heavy towers.
In January of 2000, SpectraSite Broadcast group purchased International Tower Inc. SpectraSite closed the engineering offices at the Tri-Ex plant in Visalia in October of 2000, at which time I began consulting full time. The old Tri-Ex Towers Corp. was dissolved in California so I incorporated as Tri-Ex Towers Corp. in California in Jan. 2002. In Jan. 2003, I changed the name of the corporation to Tashjian Towers Corporation.
