PROJECT DETAILS
A new power line was scheduled to be built over the Mississippi River near Natchez MS. The span between the towers across the river was over 6,000 feet long. The old steel lattice towers near the rivers edge had surpassed their useful life. Engineers for the power company had deemed the existing 400 ft tall towers unsafe to climb. Dykon’s demolition plan required access to the conductor lines. This required the contractor to built access and erect a 600 ton crane that could hoist a man basket to the conductor lines over 400 ft in the air. Charges where places so that the tower sections would fall away from the river and facilitate a speedy clean up.
