Any action that harms people is forbidden, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "There shall be no harm nor reciprocating harm." A corollary of this principle is that a person may dispose of their property as long as it does not cause manifest harm to others. Specialists determine what constitutes harm. If the trustworthy competent authorities decide that installing these towers does not harm people, then there is no impediment to their installation.
