Summary[edit]

Description
English: Turbine Tower No 23 construction site in June 2008. Turbine No 23 was the last of the 26 Wind Turbines to be constructed on Scout Moor.

Seen here in early June 2008 the engineers prepare the crane and the site for the construction of the 26th and final tower. Construction of Turbine No 23 had started a couple of weeks previous but due to a technical problem found with the centre tower section, after the base section on the right was installed, it was decided to leave it until the very last.

For the more technically minded the crane in the picture is built by the Swiss company Liebherr http://www.liebherr.com/lh/en/691.asp The eight-axle LTM 1500-8.1 above is equipped with a 7-section, 84 m telescopic boom, the longest telescopic boom in the world. The lifting capacities are increased considerably due to the jib-suspension. The lattice jib, reaching lengths of up to 91 m, extends the operating range of the 500-tonner to 145 m hoisting height and 108 m reach.http://www.liebherr.com/at/en/products_at.asp?menuID=106082
