Elliot,
A wierd request: do you have any more pictures of the tall scaffolding tower? Is the tower in the panorama photo of the SLC-6 (left by the fuel tanks) the same tower (you mention the tower near the SLC-3)? or is it a similar one? If so, would you have photos of that as well?
I am a structural engineer up in NY and we are attempting to do something similar with scaffolding here, but are very short on precedents. These would be most useful if you have anything to share, or even just email comments on what you saw.
Please let me know if we could chat, or exhange photos.
Regards,
-brian
That’s the only picture of that scaffolding tower that I have. SLC-6 is pretty far away and out of view of SLC-3.
