Patrick (“Pat”) Moore, President — Pat started working in the tower industry in 1976 and since that time has performed or been actively involved with every aspect of tower related services. Early in his career he and Don Doty formed a tower maintenance and construction business that became one of the premier broadcast tower companies competent to maintain and construct up to 2000′ broadcast towers. The partners later merged with SpectraSite, the largest tower erection and maintenance team ever combined in the industry. During the digital television transition in 2000 Pat, with a team of managers, completed many complex projects.
In 2013 when Pat joined Velocitel, he and his team was responsible for hiring, managing, and training over 130 wireless field technicians. With Velocitel’s acquisition of FDH and becoming a turf vendor for AT & T, he continued to train and manage wireless field crews in multiple geographic regions.
Pat served on the National Wireless Safety Alliance (NWSA) Board of Directors and is now currently serving on the Board of Governors. He has been an active member of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) for 28-years. In 1995 Don Doty and Pat became one of the founding members of the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE). Pat is one of the original members of the Safety and Education Committee. He actively participated in developing the ANSI/ASSP A10.48-2016 Standard – Criteria for Safety Practices with the Construction, Demolition, Modification and Maintenance of Communication Structure. Pat has been honored with NATE’s “Distinguished Service Award” recognizing his direct and individual contributions that profoundly affected the success of the Association.

Rigging Plans — Our in-house training program includes a basic rigging course for beginner tower technicians and a competent rigger course for supervisors and more experienced tower technicians. WCS has a strong relationship with the engineering firm Griswold Tower Software for assistance with Class 4 rigging plans. Having the support of GTS and using eSystem’s rigging calculation form makes creating and implementing rigging plans quick and easy.
