    I can imagine the time and patience as well as the skill of both the drone pilot and the steel workers on this. Saw a news person filming too so must've been a media-coverage day / week. But cool that the construction site would allow it and be open to close-up filming especially high up. Great moments captured in time.
    Makes me think of the old film we see from when the Chrysler or ESB were being built. Maybe kids 100 years from now will get to look back on this and wonder what our lives were like.

      How many men died then, as die now, how many lives was it worth to put up a building?

      I don't think you'd get away without a lanyard/tether on everything in the UK on any sizable job.
      If you're off the ground at all, lanyard/tether seems to be the rule, 6 or 7 foot drop is fast enough for a tool to hurt, if it catches you
      Insurance liability, etc, simpler to make a blanket site rule, less arguments.
      Had a hammer go off the side, from about 10 floors, into the public part of the site.
      My boss had to conduct bounce tests with a hammer to see how much they went sideways once they hit the floor, how they lost energy.

      They use an impact gun to tighten the nuts. They are only putting a few bolts in each plate so they can say all the steel is up. When they fill the rest of the bolts they will tighten everything down with an impact gun.

    • @georgechickful
      @georgechickful 17 дней назад

      All the other beams for that level will have to go in, before all the bolts are inserted and the whole thing checked for level.
      In the UK we'll use 'come along's' as you call them, cross crossed over the deck to pull it all true.
      Used to have some honking great air guns, years ago to tighten bolts up.

      It looks like they are working on a setback, which means anything dropped will only fall 5 or 6 floors to the next level. Most construction has netting around the perimeter to catch objects. Unlike the old days when walking on the street was almost as dangerous as working up there, untethered in the clouds. Safety first, at least in developed countries.

      Cool that you noticed…by the next day that snow was gone…a late season nor’easter happened over the previous weekend. Final columns day was a real Beauty the best day of early spring
