Finally after starting the prep
work for the tower site we were ready to actually erect the
tower and 10kw Bergey Excel. I had arranged for Pieter
Huebner from Bergey to come to Maine to assist me in
stacking the tower and turbine. The stacking process
forgoes using a crane, and allows you to erect the tower and
turbine using a winch and gin pole to erect the tower.
The turbine and associated hardware had been stored under
cover on my trailer, and was now located on the tower site.
Pieter can be seen looking for something in the trailer. |
| Here is a shot of the tower
having been started, with a few sections now stacked and
secured. In the foreground is my wood splitter, which
has seen quite a bit of work this season, as the clearing of
the site did provide about 3-4 years worth of wood to heat
my home. |

Here is a shot of the tower
having been about 2/3 completed. The gin pole is seen
attached to the side of the tower, and the lower 2 sets of
guy wires are seen as well. It is prudent to have your
climber on the ground while tensioning the guy wires.
After the guys were tensioned the gin pole will be raised
and reattached to the top of the top most tower section to
raise the next tower section into place. |
