This building had the most intense underground foundation portion I have ever seen, damn it took long to get above ground.

Ha! I know right. It was a pretty big hole. I think it was a 5 story underground parking garage.

Installing a 58' long, 50 Ton transfer girder with a 500 Ton hydraulic crane on a crisp Saturday morning. Fit like a charm.

Awesome! Thanks for the update.

That has to be one skilled driver to maneuver that through the city

They put the climbing frame on the crane. Little dicey with 190' boom up that tight. The crane will climb to it's next working height within the next week or so.

They raised the crane 70 feet this weekend. Should be enough for four more floors of steel.
