Facts
The tallest free-standing metal structure in the world. |
The method of construction was very unique in that it was built from " The Top Down", unlike the CN tower or any other tall structure in the world, it was built without using cranes or helicopters. |
The structure is also unique in that there are no bolts or rivets holding it together, every joint, pipe and fixture was welded and X-rayed. |
There is no public access to the tower. |
