Men testing bolt tightness during the construction of base tower. 32-megawatt Drumderg wind farm erection at Drumderg wind farm Alyth Scotland uk
Most large wind turbines are delivered with tubular steel towers, which are manufactured in sections of 20-30 metres with flanges at either end, and bolted together on the site. The towers are conical ( with their diameter increasing towards the base) in order to increase their strength and to save materials at the same time.
