Hot-dip galvanizing
When steel is dipped into molten zinc at a temperature of approximately 450 °C, a layer of iron-zinc alloy builds up on the steel component as a result of inter-diffusion between the liquid zinc and the steel surface.
Transport
Moving the Hot-dip galvanizd HEB260. Because it has been raining the last few weeks, heavy machinery is forbidden onto the lawn...
Therefore inventiveness manpower
Poles
Using wooden poles to move the HEB's
Using the chain hoist for lifting the iron parts onto the rotorbase.
Slowly
The wooden plate is to prevent damage and will smoothly slide the beam along the rotor.
Parts
Four beams will be screwed together to compose the tower base plate.
Grease
Using grease underneath the beams forms a thin layer.
Slide
Grease also makes sliding easier...
Last parts
Moving cross the lawn...
Detail
Wooden poles and on top of the rotor.

Motor
One of the two drive motors
Bolts
Secure the towerbase with:
26x M24x80 (8.8) bolts.
The frame using 16x M20x80 bolts
Using off-shore grease to smear the bolts.
Bolts
HEB against each other with M20
HEB260
Fixed with M24 @ the rotor base
Spacer
The first tower section will be placed onto these spacers,
Marker
After dipped into molten zinc the drill holes can be places exactly onto the base using marking stripes...
