Custom Structural Shape
Tower Top
The interface flange from the tower to the yaw bearing is designed to stiffness specifications required by the yaw bearing and also to peak load and fatigue life requirements imposed by the turbine/tower system and wind class.

Hi-Jack System™
The Hi-Jack™ is rapidly deployable anywhere in the world with minimal effort at a cost that is easy on the budget. In fact, the Hi-Jack™ System is so cost effective, that project owners are keeping Hi-Jack™ Systems on wind farm sites as a convenient maintenance risk mitigator.

Dynamic Damper
This leak proof and sealed hydraulic actuator system, includes great stiffness for enhanced tower rigidity and high energy absorption for resonance events. Internal to load bearing struts, the damper has been tested for stable performance and 20 year life in the most extreme temperatures.

Transportable Space Frame Tower™
Long distance transport, difficult logistics, road and bridge limits, overhead clearances and crane scarcity are no longer a costly problem. Transport using flatbed trucks with significantly less overhead.

Architectural Fabric Cladding
The 20 year architectural fabric used for years in major long life roofing structures is designed to handle the harshest climates and wind conditions to provide pleasing aesthetics, protection of workers from the elements, and elimination of avian concerns. Easily repairable, all fabric maintenance occurs from inside the tower.

Joint Design
A simple connection system eliminates the traditional problems with lattice tower installations: bolt loosening and recurring bolt re-torquing. Structural joints are designed using an interference fit drive pin.

TMSS System
The optional Tower Maintenance Suspended Scaffolding provides quick easy maintenance access to all areas in the tower removing the need to climb a ladder. Removable from the tower, the TMSS can be shared between multiple towers, transportable via. truck bed. The two man scaffold can carry an 800lb load and travels up each leg for tower inspection.

Foundation
The Space Frame tower’s 5-leg configuration creates multiple options for foundation design. Pile foundations generally provide significant cost reductions compared to standard tube tower foundations.

Tower Access
The tower base includes an 8ft x 8ft scroll overhead door for easy movement of equipment in and out of the tower base. The lower tower is covered with a steel “security skirt” to thwart unauthorized access.
