hindesky Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 So they set up the vertical mast on the tower crane yesterday and then took it back down. The tower crane operator at the Marquette Companies White Oak apartments was watching while he was in his tower crane (he is about half mile away). He saw my post on IG and at the end of his shift he DMed me about why it was taken back down. I didn't know but he has lots of connections in the business and found out it wasn't plumb/level so they took it back down. Talked with several workers at the site this morning and they confirmed it. They also said lots of the work has been shut down because all the sections of the tower crane take up a big portion of the property. A boss told me they are waiting for shims so they can level the concrete base. Sounds like a very expensive mistake. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 When I was at the site the superintendent told me the riggers refused to go in the pit where the base of the tower crane is due to a couple inches of water. He had to buy a pump to get the water out. He said they hope to finish today. Another worker told me they had to pay the first AT crane $45,000 to erect the tower crane and another $45,000 to take it back down. Add another $45,000 for today's work to erect it it once again. From the Marquette Companies White Oak apartments. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are the concrete contractors and Jaxon Hill is the GC.

Popular Post hindesky Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 A neighbor across the street from the construction said the tower crane dropped some scaffolding on the air conditioner of the house right next to this. Said they had 24 hrs to fix it at a cost of $10,000. It happened a couple weeks ago. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1363 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I was at the medical center during the recent heavy rains but I saw a picture on twitter where White Oak bayou had spilled over the walking trails. Does anyone know how the corner of White Oak and Houston avenue fared? That intersection has flooded several times in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
