New YPAD Control Tower – Ongoing Construction

Aviation Media and News since 2008


 

The new State-of-the-Art Control Tower at Adelaide Airport is really starting to take shape. After the initial base was poured the main tower section is being constructed. Concrete will flow 24 hours a day until it is completed. 5DME were there to photograph construction during various phases and some great night shots were obtained.

The animation opposite is compiled by 5DME and is an appoximation based on available images and specifications.
