High Voltage Tower Construction 2 timelapse 720p HD
Loading...
Uploaded by jcmegabyte on May 1, 2009
Time lapse and realtime footage show just how much work and skill it takes to put one of these towers up without any roads. Watch in HD full-screen for maximum detail and clarity!
The large orange/red helicopter being used for the heavy lift operation is a Sikorsky (Erickson) S-64 Sky Crane, which has a lift capacity of 10 tons (20,000 LBS) and is also used for water/retardant drop in firefighting.

@MoZzIiLLau That was one of the crew dropping a belt or some rigging... Kinda looked like someone falling off the tower at first! XD

It Is fun to be a lineman. We went to San Diego California we are going to do the same kind of job

This does look like interesting, adventrous work, although perhaps a bit dangerous if safety procedures aren't followed. The construction I watched here went off without a hitch... very professionally done :-)
