May 31st : All new tower locations are operational. Rural Tower Network now serves customers from 71 tower locations.
April 13th : All towers have been erected and the electrician is working on power requirements for the sites. Once site conditions improve, dirt work and landscaping will be completed. I’ll update this post when the sites are operational.
April 7th : The Buxton and Brampton towers have been erected. Electrical will be completed next. Also, the addition of the Oakes location has neared completion. The LaMoure location is scheduled to be erected next week. Muddy and snow filled site conditions have caused the crew to adjust plans but that is typical with early spring construction. Progress continues.
March 31st : Construction at the Buxton, LaMoure, and Brampton sites continues as the foundations are poured. The next part of the process will be erection, component work and electrical. In addition to these sites, RTN plans an Oakes location as well. The usual spring construction conditions exist with lots of snow to move and little to no frost in the ground. I’ll keep this post updated as progress nears completion.
