New Gowganda Tower

Went up tower hill for a check on the construction of the new tower. Met a couple of the workers who were putting in the forms for the tower centre and the supports for the cable to the shed. They had put in anchor bolts for the guy wire anchors at three points. A rock drill from down south came up and drilled all the holes. The men were waiting for the concrete truck to arrive from New Liskeard. About 2:30 PM the truck arrived and the concrete was poured. This meant that the two workers had finished what they had come to do. The next part was up to the tower erection crew.

Found out the new tower will be 300 feet about 50 feet or more than the old tower. The old tower will be completely taken down when the new one is finished. This upgrades, the old tower by new height, and safety upgrades for the men working on it. I suspect the regular phone, cell phone and internet will all come from the new tower.
