Abstract

A tower construction comprising at least one tower section including a plurality of panel segments attached to each other in a cruciform configuration. Each panel includes a surrounding frame that supports a fill material, which is preferably cast into the frame. Preferably the fill material is a reinforced concrete. A surrounding shell is disposed about each tower section. The shell includes a plurality of support rings that are attached to the tower section. A plurality of fencing panels are attached to the support rings to enclose the tower section, thereby protecting the panels from the elements.
