Tower to Threshold Distance

Hi All,

I am looking for information on Tower Cab to Threshold distances, particularly those over 10,000'.

What is the distance, how high is the tower, how much detail can you see at the threshold and on the taxiways approaching the threshold etc.

If there is any one involved in the planning of new towers out there, can they provide a link to any papers/research that deals with the issue.

Reason for the questions: I am involved in the planning of a new tower for an International Airport, and the site the Airport authority wants us to build at will give distances of ~13000' and 13500' to two of the thresholds involved.
