    Old School Stadium Construction Pics

    Well, not too old school. 2003.

    I can't believe this info is still out there. The old URL I was using is a porn site now.

    yeah, 6 of them in less than a block.

    I could stand underneath the counterweights on that 250 ton hydraulic. It was that big.

    Re: Old School Stadium Construction Pics

    i can look walk outside and see 3 800 mt gantry (fun to ride the elevator to the top, and crawl through it to go on the very top, I should be doing that again in a couple weeks) and 2 450 mt gantrys

    for 1 lift on our project, they used a 3800 mt barge crane

    and I used to work in houston. They had one of the worlds largest crawler cranes there. I can't remember it's capacity, but it took 14 people to operate. When they would cross the street, they'd warn us so we could leave early and not get stuck. The counter weights were bigger then an F-150.

    Shipyards get the cool toys.

    there's some bad juju in that one. just reminds of why not to do lifts in the wind. We had to wait a day to do our superlift because of windspeed.
