Pretty good. Lifetime of the tower is probably almost infinite – given the concrete construction (concrete gets stronger/harder with age – the oldest concrete in the world is the Pantheon in Rome). Would be interesting to know the capacity factor difference (between this WT & tower & others) given the 120mtr height and the close to 200mtr tip height.
