About Security-Widefield
Security-Widefield is an unincorporated community in El Paso County south of Colorado Springs, made up largely of residential neighborhoods.
Regional considerations
Wind along the Front Range, especially near the foothills, can affect crane operations, and lifts are postponed when conditions exceed limits. Altitude does not change crane load charts, but weather windows and ground conditions after snowmelt matter.
