Here at One Energy, our wind turbine towers are erected in four separate sections: base, lower mid, upper mid, and top. The base is secured to the foundation using 120 anchor bolts and the next three sections are stacked and connected using a total of 358 bolts.
Today’s Wind View shows the top tower section being lowered into position above the upper mid by a crane. If you look closely, you can see two technicians waiting to guide and securely bolt the sections together. After the top is secured to the rest of the tower, we can continue the construction process.
