Tower components being uncrated |
 |
The crane operator starts lifting the first component of the tower |
 |
The lift begins! |
 |
Up and over the scaffolding, where the craftsmen from Luxembourg await! |
 |
The bottom section is carefully lowered into place... |
 |
It fits like a glove! Once in place, the tower bottom is bolted to the existing posts in the light station attic. |
 |
The next component, the two-piece walkway, is assembled prior to being lifted. Railings between the two sections are attached... |
 |
...and the copper deck material is carefully joined. |
 |
Up it goes! |
 |
The platform being lifted. Balance was perfect, the unit lifted beautifully using two straps. |
 |
The workers get ready to guide the platform to its final position. |
 |
The platform clears the scaffolding. |
 |
The carpenters rotate the platform into position. |
 |
Lining up the platform with the lower box. This was a tight fit due to the precision craftsmanship, performed in Luxembourg. |
 |
The walkway platform settles perfectly into place! |
