I cant understand the engineering, obviously the beam weighs quite a bit as evidenced by the additional counterweight, one end sits on a massive area of the pylon cap and over the pylon, yet the other end sits on a small portion of the pylon cap quite a distance from the pylon. Of course the center will get filled with concrete eventually buy that much weight on that small of a ledge, I mean, you can only get so much steel in that end. Does not seem logical.
Thanks for these, lived in Armadale many years ago (Now Eastern States), but its interesting to see the changes.
Yes many changes and all for the good .Thanks for your comment.
So very interesting. That was a lot of counterweight on the crane today.
and they take it off and put it back every time , only one more Crain lift .and it goes right back up the track, Yes 150 ton
@muja28 will the crane go down to Byford?
I work on that crane
