500kV Tower Construction 3 -Line Work Time Lapse

decorating home office

As the Tehachapi Renewable Energy Transmission Line Project nears completion in Bouquet Canyon, crews finish stringing the lines and connecting the insulators on this heavy connecting tower in 100 degree+ heat. Many time lapse sequences show most of the day’s work, including the last line being pulled into place by a winch truck, personnel being ferried onto the tower by helicopter, and numerous airlifts/deliveries of equipment and materials. Finally, at the end of the day, most of the crew files down the tower leg… Yay – quittin’ time! Filmed in Bouquet Canyon, California, July 2009. The music is “Symbian Rhythms V2″ from the “Silicon Landscape” CD By Technician, soundtrack CD available at JCMDI.COM Enjoy the show!

  1. Nice job with the time-lapse photography assembly!

  2. Thanks so much for checking it out!! =)

  3. do these guys have proper fall arrest ? Just looks like they have a waist belt

  4. It was pretty hard to see them from the distance I was shooting, but it did appear that they had some sort of safety gear, which probably included a harness and tether… It looked like they were “clipping-on” as they moved around on the tower.

    Fascinating to watch, I’d always wondered how these buggers are built.
    Cheers!
    And that smaller chopper looks adorable in time-lapse for some reason.

  20. This was definitely fascinating to watch – even in realtime… Funny how the men and machines look like bugs when sped-up a lot! XD

    @jcmegabyte Hah aye definitely. Mentally, I imagine the smaller chopper acting as some sort of overlord/boss for each pylon. Doing a bit of light work, buggering off and then inspecting the finished project to see if it meets it’s standards.

  24. Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! :-)

    @jcmegabyte Well, it had me captivated.. especially those helicopters.. :) Takes some skilled pilot work to navigate securely around those pylons.. :)
