Its called a jib (if its a tower crane), not a boom And since they don't like to build jibs in the air one section at a time, they normally put the entire jib together on the ground and install it in one lift, as seen in the pictures above. A tower crane isn't strong enough to fly the entire jib to the top of another tower crane, much less the counterweights, it would be out of chart.

Sorry guys, my friend got the job as the crane op on this project. He says theyre just expanding the parking garage, making it even more massive. I think they just want to generate more parking revenue.

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
Howard Huge replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
I'm generally very anti-government, anti-regulation, anti-zoning, anti-state, what have you......but.....is there any clever way the city could "force" these crappy dollar stores and weave stores out of those retail slots? Perhaps by proxy, or some sort of new, bogus "regulation?" -

The Post Oak Hotel At Uptown Houston At 1600 West Loop S.
Howard Huge replied to King Owl's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Go at night when the cranes aren't working, there's nothing stopping you from climbing that ladder all the way to the top, except maybe some paul blart on the ground, but most of the time it's pretty easy.Edit: I am not serious and am not suggesting that you do anything illegal that may result in incarceration, physical harm or even death.- 590 replies
