If you've ever wondered how tall towers get erected, here's one way, and it doesn't need a crane. Pulling power was provided by an electric winch. This tower has its own autonomous off-grid PV system to power the data loggers, communication systems and nighttime FAA lights. This wide-angle time-lapse photo sequence of an 80-meter meteorological (MET) tower going up was taken over the course of 2 hours, 45 minutes, with a photo every minute. It's located in the Spanish Peaks region of Southern Colorado. The crew is from Capital City Renewables based out of Madison, Wisconsin: http://www.capitalcityrenewables.com

This wide-angle time-lapse photo sequence of an 80-meter meteorological (MET) tower going up was taken over the course of 2 hours, 45 minutes, with a photo every minute of the lift. It's located in the Spanish Peaks region of Southern Colorado. The tower is not near the power grid, and has its own off-grid solar-powered renewable energy system at the base to power the data loggers, communications equipment, and nighttime FAA lights.
