What You Need To Know About Tower Crane Erection

Tower cranes can ascend upwards of 260 feet, making them a staple of any major construction project. However, their massive size and intricate components require strict attention to safety precautions at all times. At NessCampbell Crane + Rigging, we prioritize safety above all else. If you’re planning a large-scale project that may involve a tower crane, our top-notch engineers will plan and coordinate the project, making sure the tower crane is erected and operated as smoothly and safely as possible.

The first step to any construction project is to consult with a highly qualified engineer. At NessCampbell, our engineers are among the best in the business. They’ll help you go over all the details of your proposed project, from assessing ground conditions to determining the best equipment for the job. Once the calculations and plans have been made, the project will move into the tower crane erecting phase.

Building and Erecting the Tower Crane

Assembling and erecting a tower crane is a team effort. A crew made up of project managers, riggers, lifters, and operators will coordinate their efforts to oversee and execute the tower crane installation, comply with all safety protocols, and accommodate any weather condition restrictions. The team will ensure that all nuts and bolts are well lubricated and tightened sufficiently to support the tower crane and its load capacity. Once the tower crane erection is complete, the crew will take an initial elevation reading and set intervals for monitoring readings to account for any settlement activity.

Safety at Every Step

From the first calculation to the first tower crane operation, safety will always come first. For over half a century, NessCampbell has prioritized safety for all employees, customers, construction sites, and communities. We account for all possible variables that could affect our equipment—weather, ground conditions, and more. No matter what your construction goals may be, NessCampbell is here to help you achieve them safely and on time. Reach out today to get started.
