Tower 4 - Lenawee Express

The Tower 4 foundation is complete. The spider hoe has back filled the concrete. Towards late September, the helicopter should be back to fly the towers. Prior to flying, the crew will remove those large nuts and then the helicopter will set the tower on those bolts and the nuts will be replaced before the helicopter disconnects from the tower. You can also see the copper grounding wire attached to one of the bolts.

Once the tower is set and more of the line work is complete, we will re-vegetate the disturbed areas using seed, fertilizer and excelsior mats. We have good success re-vegging the towers on our other lift builds. After a few years, the lack of disturbance, it looks like the towers "grew out of the ground.
