Iindonga, imiqobo kunye nemigangatho isusiwe kwiNaliti yeSithuba kwaye endaweni yayo kwafakwa iglasi yesakhiwo ebonisa iimbono ezandisiweyo ngokumangalisayo kunye namava ondwendwe amanqanaba amaninzi.
Olu hlaziyo lumangalisayo lwe-100 lezigidi zeerandi luveze umgangatho weglasi wokuqala kunye nokuphela kwawo ojikelezayo kwihlabathi, wafumana i-Space Needle kwiphondo lase-Washington ibhaso elibalaseleyo elinikezwe yi-World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT).
I-WFGT ngumbutho wamazwe ngamazwe weenqaba ezinkulu eziquka ezinye zezona zakhiwo zibalaseleyo zehlabathi ezifana ne-Eiffel Tower kunye ne-Empire State Building. Ubuchule obugqithisileyo obufunekayo ukugqiba ukulungiswa okukhulu kweenyawo ze-520 emoyeni, ngelixa lihlala livuleleke kakhulu kuluntu ngexesha lokwakha, lifumene ukwamkelwa okuphezulu kwinkomfa yonyaka ye-WFGT namhlanje eMexico City.
Ukwamkela i-"2018 Technical Innovation Award for Excellence" egameni leNaliti yeNdawo, iGosa eliyiNtloko leNtengiso uKaren Olson uthe, "Utshintsho olumangalisayo lwamava ondwendwe lwe-Space Needle, olwenziwa liqela elimangalisayo labakhi bemibono, iinjineli kunye neengcaphephe bazise ebomini imibono abaseki bethu babenokuphupha nje ukuba kunokwenzeka.”
Nge-196% yeglasi eyongezelelekileyo, kubandakanywa iintlobo ezilishumi ezahlukeneyo, abayili baye benza umdlalo onzulu obonisa umgangatho weglasi wokuqala wehlabathi ojikelezayo. Iiphaneli zeglasi ezivulekileyo zintywila ngaphandle kwi-angle ye-14-degree encinci kungekho mithungo phakathi kwazo, ingashiyi nto ngaphandle komoya phakathi kweendwendwe kunye nombono omangalisayo wePuget Sound.
"Olu hlaziyo lusebenzise itekhnoloji yokuqala yohlobo lwayo, njengaxa i-Space Needle yakhiwa okokuqala ngo-1962," utshilo uKaren Olson, i-CMO yeNaliti yesikhala. “Ubuchule kunye nokusungula izinto ezintsha bezingundoqo kwindlela i-Space Needle eyayilwa yaza yayakhelwa ngayo uMbono weHlabathi kwaye isengundoqo kwindlela i-Space Naliti ephinde yayilwa ngayo kwixesha elizayo.
