Summary
Connecting Hub to Turbine Tower No 11. With just a couple of feet to go this is where the skill and expertise of the crane operator comes into its own.
At 60 metres up from the ground the engineers are in constant contact by radio with the crane operator who has to manoeuvre the 23 ton hub inch by inch in line with the holes on to the rotor shaft so the engineers can insert the 60 securing bolts. <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Scout_Moor_Turbine_Towers_15_and_21_-_geograph.org.uk_-_697164.jpg" title="File:Scout Moor Turbine Towers 15 and 21 - geograph.org.uk - 697164.jpg">696211</a> <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_very_first_completed_wind_turbine_on_Scout_Moor_-_geograph.org.uk_-_633643.jpg" title="File:The very first completed wind turbine on Scout Moor - geograph.org.uk - 633643.jpg">633643</a> <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turbine_Tower_No_10_under_construction_-_geograph.org.uk_-_696917.jpg" title="File:Turbine Tower No 10 under construction - geograph.org.uk - 696917.jpg">696917</a> <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aerial_View_of_Scout_Moor_Wind_Farm.jpg" title="File:Aerial View of Scout Moor Wind Farm.jpg">777641</a> <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turbine_tower_section_passing_Edenfield_Primary_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_687214.jpg" title="File:Turbine tower section passing Edenfield Primary School - geograph.org.uk - 687214.jpg">687214</a> <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Engineers_60_metres_up_on_top_of_Turbine_Tower_No_11_-_geograph.org.uk_-_786458.jpg" title="File:Engineers 60 metres up on top of Turbine Tower No 11 - geograph.org.uk - 786458.jpg">786458</a>
