The simplicity of this well-proportioned and stylish structure resolves the visual problems associated with lattice towers by eliminating the large number of bracing components. The pioneering design employs a simple hierarchy of components: a central spine, cast steel arms and Macalloy 460 M36 M42 painted tension bars. The resulting silhouette is visually more akin to that of a monopole, yet the structure is capable of supporting a high level of equipment at heights up to 40-metres.
