Replace Light Towers
Chamizal National Memorial » Replace Light Towers » Document List
The Denver Service Center developed the original design for the light towers. It included two structures, each consisting of two light towers adjoined by a catwalk. This original design was not followed. Instead, only a single post light tower on each side of the outdoor stage was installed. These light towers sustain lights, which weigh approx. 400 lbs. (8 lights at 50 lbs/ea). The existing towers are showing signs of corrosion, especially throughout their base, which may presents a safety hazard to both employees and visitors. The lack of a catwalk on which to stand when replacing lights further worsens this already dangerous activity.
