Watching the assembly of a #construction #towercrane timelapse-style with sped-up video and some actual time-lapses. This is part 1, which covers some of the preparations in the days and weeks prior to assembly, as well as placing the mast segments on the first day of the assembly.
Part 2, which covers the second day of the assembly is here: • Assembling a Tower Cra...
At the beginning this includes some of the preparation work already seen in Weeks 2, 3 and 4 of the "Ⓢ Series" of videos on this channel, and then much more detail and previously-unseen video of the actual assembly (which was only covered briefly in Week 4's original video).

So happy to be a mobile crane operator. Just wouldn't want to be a town crane operator because of the heights. Especially during strong winds, I've heard that the crane sways badly at times. Been an operator for close to thirty years and guess i always shall be. Love operating cranes.

Hat’s off to the media company great for positioning the camera so well. The weather was fantastic too. A bit cold but perfect for erecting the tower crane. The crane erectors were very professional and well organised. Great base electrical panel with plenty of room to wire up the mains cable and fixed at the perfect height. Looking forward to part 2. 🇦🇺

My 1st construction job was on a 10 story building in Nashville 30+ yrs ago. The structure was built using a very large Manitowoc crawler and that operator was by far the loudest human on the planet which was handy because he regularly worked green riggers including me. Once while swinging close to the building, the hoist cable slipped into a snap clevice that was securing a safety net around the 8th floor. No way to unhook it but for a volunteer to ride the headache ball straight up and unlatch it. Cheers.

Spoke to soon. Saw their method of torquing those nuts on the crane sections

@frankely6378 Жыл бұрын

What it looks like they are doing is actually tensioning the bolts. Which is the basic goal of torquing a bolt, but more accurate. It looks like the tool is actually grabbing the top of the stud and pulling it, then just run the nut down snug to hold the tension. This is a great way of doing this because it eliminates the big variable of the friction between the nut and the bolt, and it saves having to apply huge torque values.

You usually just need a bigger mobile crane. This one wasn't using all of his counterweight or jib, so it can probably take the tower down with the rest of the weights and jib on.

Peiner sections are 6 meters or just shy of 20 feet. These are double stacks or two at a time so 40 feet is about right.

@@firesurfer HYDRAULIC, look up how ships engine bolts are torqued, this is the same, a hydraulic jack supplies the 'squeeze', then they just do the nut up by hand (or tommy bar, etc), that's it, the nuts hold the 'squeeze' the expanding cylinders place on the joint, so no grunting from the workers!- the hydraulic pressure on the guage is the torque applied, NO MATHS needed, easy.
