There are, I guess, 4 tower feet, they are very big structures. So my guess is that the "workers" were told remove the leg bolts, sand-blast the foot, then renew the bolts.
"Now guys, I’m off for a smoko, have it done before I’m back". "OK guv".
Instead of doing it one foot at a time, the obvious method, the "workers" then rush off, "Hey Mick, you do leg one, Jim you do leg 2, Manuel you do leg 3, Franco you do leg 4". "OK let’s go".
In 10 minutes all the bolts are removed, the wind picks up, the lateral force on the cables increases and bang, down she goes.
Haha who put the project manager in charge 😆
Occam’s Razor strikes again.
Reading the updated story, it definitely sounds like poor procedures.
