Crane pics

[Rich Rule]

Another day subbing... finished the job. As the last crane was not large enough to get the last 4 trees... This time they had a 60m tower crane. 1 guy in MEWP cutting and 4 of us on ground along with some of the Crane fellas.

dont see that everyday! why the need for it?

[Rich Rule]

bordering the railway lines and as i understand it the site surveyers insisted on closing the lines, and taking the trees due to location and properties close by. All in all the job had about 20 ish large Lombardii's. It was not an option to position crane on the road side, hence the tower crane for reach. Certainly made the job quicker than climbing and we were fighting the elements.
