Sydney Cricket Ground – Light Tower Upgrade

The six light towers at Sydney Cricket Ground form a tapered steel cylinder from top to bottom and are between 55-65m tall. The sections are internally bolted together with an M36 at each connection with horizontal sealant joints on the outside for weatherproofing at these areas. Towers 1, 4, 5 and 6 have five cylindrical sections with an extra base section. These towers have a subgrade base footing, which have the surrounding subgrade encapsulating the steel base material. The individual towers are facilitated by a series of alternating ladders and platforms.
