Albert hertzog tower -- Brixton -- Johannesburg
Design and construction of tallest concrete tower in Africa, built to support radio antennas; most difficult problems were those concerned with wind; wind tunnel tests were helpful, but for most part it was necessary to rely on engineering experience; shapes and dimensions were chosen to meet antenna specifications, to minimize wind loads, to ensure stability and to suit construction method; observation turret was added to provide further public amenity.
