Pouring concrete and setting steel on the new $43-million Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nev., is safer and faster than ever before with help from a new, more versatile self-climbing support system. Currently under construction, the ATCT will be an approximately 350-ft-tall, 22-level structure topped off by an 850-sq-ft cab with flared wing walls on all four sides. The main structural components of the ATCT shaft are cast-in-place concrete and structural steel. Pour heights on the outside walls of the tower will reach as high as 19 ft.
