Honestly @spencer_lee77, the visual pollution from dead turbines really gets to me too.

Wasn't our Phoenix job similar, @stellachen, where more crew got it done quick?

Overthinking a hobby there.

See, the thing about scaffold bracing in gusty conditions isn't JUST about pre-calculated loads. I've seen setups that looked perfect on paper fail because crews ignored local wind tunneling effects between buildings. Professionals often rely on experience-based rules of thumb, like adding extra braces every third bay in exposed areas. The calculations are a starting point, but field adjustments for ACTUAL conditions are what prevent disasters. That scaffold you saw probably had a crew that knew when to go beyond the minimum specs.
