I am finally getting a tower after hamming for 41 years!!

I plan to pour cement around one tower section and use this as a base.  The 
township requires this procedure for the building permit.

My question is:

How do I keep this base section vertical while the cement is poured into the 
hole?  It seems to me that the force of the cement flow would push the tower 
off plumb.  Guy wires?  Wood braces?  I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
