    It was cool to learn all the weights and tensions involved - those are some big stresses the towers have to withstand! Still, I find it kind of funny that even with all the modern construction equipment and techniques, the towers themselves look virtually unchanged from those built 70 or 80 years ago.

    That wind in the gorge is serious, we went thru there in a moving truck when I was a kid, the engine was going all out and we were lucky to be making 45 against the wind. Coming across wyoming- it was a long move we were doing upto 70 at about the same RPM. That helo pilot has nerves of steel and is a freaking dexterous mutant. It is amazing how something so spidery is so strong, those steel pieces have to be bigger than they look assembled.

    Wow that's pretty crazy what goes into that. See tons of these spanning 100's of km and it's easy to not realize what goes into it. It also looks brutal hot there, not fun conditions to work in at all.

    Great video- This helps with perspective on the tasks involved with such a project.

    How much time it takes to install 1 tower.? How much time is for the wiring process?

    Just for all you not know it all's, 500KV is 500,000 Volts or simply known as 500Kilo Volts......Kilo meaning a thousand.

    The video documentary and commentary are excellent. The music soundtrack adds nothing of valuer but distraction and annoyance.
