Tower Stuctures
Existing Tower Keustch, Holzinger, Chuang, and Faloona The existing tower is an UpRight brand walkup-scaffolding tower. Groups in the "current trailer" (see layout) are expected to mount their inlets (and instruments) on this tower. The UpRight tower is a 6 ft x 4.5 ft sectional tower. Each 6 ft tall unit consists of a walkup staircase and 6 ft x ~2.25 ft platform. This tower is 44 ft tall measured at the topmost platform where someone can stand. This is the tower everyone saw when visiting the site last September.

New Scaffolding Tower
| We have purchased a new scaffolding tower with a walkup staircase. The tower has four platforms at approximate heights 14 ft, 27.5 ft, 41 ft and 54.5 ft. Each platform has guardrails and area 17 ft x 5 ft. The scaffolding frame rail size is 1.9 in (vertical and horizontal). There will be three trailers placed on the pictured gravel pad. The articulated boom will be placed to the right of the tower (in this photo). Please note that the trees surrounding this tower are about 30–33 ft tall, reaching up just past the second platform level, are slightly higher than those in the fetch (perhaps due to downslope into the fetch from tower location). |
Articlulating Boom
Brune
The rented electric powered articlulating boom reaches a height of ~45 ft and has a 500 lb capacity with a lift basket. The base of the lift basket is 26 in x 48 in and the basket sides are constructed of ~1.5–2 in bars. The two horizontal bars are at ~1.5 ft and 4 ft above the basket floor and we expect there to be 4–6 vertical bars. For additional details please see the E45 scissor lift specifications powerpoint presentation.
