With strong wind and rain in October, the team at the construction site in Grevenbroich is in the throes of the work. For precision work at higher altitudes, on scaffolds and lifts, dry days are preferred.
Construction site on the eve of the erection date.
The preliminary work is as usual: assembled in the last few days, the lattice mast piece for the deadline is positioned and prepared.

In the early morning it is called "Up!". The crane raises the steel assembly. From below, the path of the lattice tower is steered and secured with ropes.
Our photographer captures the happenings from two sides. That's why the crane is once right and once left.
At the joints, the team bolted the steel girders together. An in-depth experience of how the edges are slowly positioned.
Only a small piece is missing to the complete height of 78 meters. While this is being bolted down, the nacelle is under construction.
