    If the pipe on the top is 1/4" thick, 8" diameter which it seems to be by what you say and looking at it, I calculated this:



    Top pipe: 1/4 Mile = 1,320 FT The pipe weighs approx. 20.71 lbs / ft x 1,320 ft = A weight of 27,337 lbs

    I'd say 25 towers roughly or more, and a weight of atleast 250lbs each which is another 6,250 lbs

    This isn't a job where you can go cut it up with a sawzall and grinder and drop onto the ground, even torching each piece off you would need something to move the pieces with, possibly a skid loader would do the trick if positioned right. Also you need a pretty large transport trailer or truck to move these, id say the kind you had in your power plant project. This looks awesome, and would be a great experience. Any timeline when you must finish?
