[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3254002, member: 5412"] Man, that was interesting. OSHA in the US wouldn’t allow that now. It’s an interesting process watching them build the stacks starting from the ground and going up. Watched both of the 500’ stacks going up at Sooner power plant South of Ponca. Double wall construction. The inner wall is laid fire brick, one brick at a time, the outer wall is poured concrete. The environmental instruments I was charged with monitoring and calibrating at the top and midway were attached to the inner wall which didn’t sway in the wind. The outer wall swayed considerably which resulted in an optical illusion that seemed the probes, etc were actually swinging which actually wasn’t happening. Took a bit to get used to. [/QUOTE]
