Lend Lease have been appointed as the builder.

Fairly certain i saw a crane base as i drove past this morning.

This is the site today. There was a large piling rig on site up until last week, but that's gone now. The green thing is new, but it looks more like a piece of boring equipment than a crane base to me?

Can we change the thread name to Adelaide Botanic High School? As the official name was announced last month

Who doesn't love an occasional botanic high?

Looks like a crane base to me.

Or a xmas tree

It might be a pile test rig. These look like crane bases because they are made from crane tower sections. They are used to load a few test piles with weights to test their load bearing capacity. Attached is a picture of a test rig that was used at the UniSA site on north Tce. If it gets removed after a week or to it is a test rig. Test piles are piles that stick out of the ground a metre or so

Im not sure what it is on closer inspection.

How long is the whole thing going to take I wonder?

At this stage it's due to open in just over 20 months. (Term 1 2019)

This equipment is a pile testing rig not a crane base. A picture of a test pile also. 27/may 17.

The pile test rig has been removed and work has started on digging a basement level at the western (Frome road) end of the site.

A crane base is now on site.
