Jack. wrote:Hi gaz, I see you have some large pads under your crane. Is this because there are utility pipes etc underneath or are you working on a site were the contractor demands that a certain size pad goes under the outriggers no matter how large the crane is? Site insisted me had them! Stupid really but they paid for them so I'm not complaining, they just never took into account the size of them and could not get centre of one! Matts are off one of our old 250's and are a little over kill for the ground conditions. Gaz

When I was with A.B.A for work experience I was told that Interserve insist that any crane no matter how big or small, or how good the ground conditions are, has to have, I think it was 1.5x1.5 matts underneath the riggers. Very overkill especially with city cranes!

I can confirm that about Interserve Jack......i was on a job for about 10 months for them in worksop and everycrane that came on site had to have Interserves own pads! These were big hefty things that were 2.5metres square and were heavy! I lifted all4 that were on site at once to put them on the wagon when they went back to interserves yard and they made my machine struggle a little. Its a little overkill but Interserve tend to be a little awkward when it comes to H&S for machinery wether its practical or not!......but thats a story for another time

These were a treat to look at. The series is a great contribution for those not involved in the rental business.

Finishing off the luffer on Monday morning....  raising the luffer.  Standing tall.  inside the 1st section all the machinery for the turbine is placed.  Stood the 1st section on end using my crane  and then placed over the fancy tech bits of the turbine  Then a few hours of stacking the tower sections      tomorrow the last tower section goes up and then its the nacelle, hub and finally blades. should be done by Friday weather permitting. I must admit i'm throughly loving this job. It has been flat out, the crawler driver (Andy) did not stop all day, i get breaks while he puts the big sections to get a few pictures, but Andy never got chance....its been flat out. Enjoy, i'll get some more good ones over the next few days. Gaz

Sweet pics Gaz,been tuning in everyday to see the updates,great stuff and keep it up(yes,pun intended )
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.
