There was a restaurant, "Vēja roze" ("Wind Rose"), at the 93-metre (305 ft) level, which was open since the completion of the tower until 2006.

[3] Construction materials included dolomite from Saaremaa, Karelian granite, and ironwork that had been prefabricated in Chelyabinsk.

The tower is built to resist winds up to 44 metres per second (98 mph) without any noticeable vibration[citation needed] with the help of three 9.1-metric-ton (10-short-ton) dampers installed at the 198-metre (650 ft) level.

[citation needed] The middle section, at 88–222 metres (289–728 ft), contains equipment and a central elevator and is enclosed by panels of COR-TEN, an aluminum-iron alloy.

Additionally, broadcast and two-way communications services are provided for various organizations and government agencies.
