Crane Counter: CBD 9 | Metro 6 | Total 15

[Will]

With the third crane going up at the new RAH over the weekend, the tally is back up to 15.

[Wayno]

While watching the test cricket at AO I noticed the cranes were aligning themselves with the prevailing wind direction, more or less.

Question: Is this movement caused merely by the wind (i.e. the cranes freely rotate like weather vanes)? or do they have in-built intelligence to auto-align with the wind direction (maybe to reduce torsion style stresses)?

[Pikey]

they can free move in the wind mate.

CML crane up to day and a truck drove past me with pieces and a cabin so another going up somewhere today maybe rah? This would take us to a record 17 cranes!!!

[[Shuz]]

CML certainly is a surprise. Don't understand the need for it?

[serca]

surely not for the extra floors on the cube? Could they install loading platforms? Looks heigh, a lot of clearance for the boom

A tower crane was erected for the refurbishment of Place on Brougham. Maybe something similar this time?

[crawf]

I think Franklin St is being pulled down today.

[dbcrow]

I think Franklin St is being pulled down today.

Yep, Franklin St crane is gone.

[Pikey]

Another two crane bases have been erected at the RAH site, however I think one of them might be for a concrete pump, due to it's relatively close proximity to another crame (less than 30m)

[Ben]

Latest Update: CML up and Franklin street down. Few more to come at RAH

[RiseHigh]

Crane will be coming down at SAHMRI very soon, I think over the Christmas break.

[RiseHigh]

They should start to take one of the cranes down tomorrow at Sahmri.

One of these days I'd like to see how self climbing cranes are put up and taken down. But I'm always otherwise engaged when it happens. Don't suppose anyone has a time lapse video of such an event?

I've watched a few in the last couple of years. This should give you an idea!

Mobile cranes, closed roads and things moving slowly. Franklin st crane that came down last weekend took 2+ days.
