The Night Shift: Different Tower, Different World

After closing to public, the tower transforms. Night maintenance supervisor Carlos Rodriguez leads teams performing work impossible during visitor hours. "Darkness is our friend. We can access areas, use equipment, make noise. The tower is ours."

Night work includes deep cleaning, major repairs, and equipment replacement. "Last week, we changed a 300-kilo beam on the second platform," Rodriguez details. "Crane work, welding, testing—finished by dawn, invisible to visitors. They see perfection; we create it in darkness."

The night tower reveals different character. "She sings," says Rodriguez. "Wind through cables creates harmonics. Metal contracting as temperature drops sounds like whispers. Working alone at 3:00 AM on the summit, city asleep below, you feel part of something ancient despite the modern iron."

Night security faces unique challenges. Urban explorers attempt illegal climbs. Drones probe defenses. Occasional suicides require sensitive intervention. "We're not just guards but guardians of stories," reflects night security chief Hassan Patel. "Every incident handled quietly preserves the tower's magic for tomorrow's visitors."
