>>2495007>My point is these areas already have maintained access roads typically.That much steel would cost a small fortune, just for the steel, especially with prices the way they are right now. We're talking tens of thousands; that structure is somewhere on the order of hundreds of tons.
But that's just the steel. You need to transport it all out into the middle of nowhere, hire a crane truck and/or bucket truck and get them out there, lay the pier blocks/foundations, hire a crew to build it and weld it (welders cost, they aren't McDonald's cashiers) and bolted together, have it inspected....
I work in an adjacent industry, drafting technical drawings and blueprints for various applications, doing some takeoffs and estimates as well, and I'm not going to put in any effort into figuring out just how much it would cost, but it'd be a lot. Low-to-mid six figures is my closest guess, not too accurate, but one crane truck alone can cost several thousand dollars per day to rent.
