[omernikski]

WTF? Who's HIGH?

 

[14longshot]

oops or ooosheet

 

[ruffryder]

On a job like that, who is normally responsible for the location of the crane? Is it the operator? Or is he told where he needs to be?

Wow, interesting pics. Almost wonder if they were supposed to put the stiff legs on the pillars?

 

[Snow Fox]

Simply amazing, you would have thought that would have been noticed before putting a crane there.

Australia mostly upsidedown. Crane must have been made in northern hemisphere just knew what way is up!

 

[94fordguy]

note to self, never park a heavy duty crane on an elevated slab ...

 

[Mag]

Damn that'd suck!

All the jobs I've been on that had any kind of crane operations occurring, the operators were told where to place the crane.

I guarantee somebody got fired over that one...

That's a pitty to see such a beautiful piece of machinery destroyed like that.

I'll bet they had to get a crane to get that crane out of there.

 

[Good to Go]

Funny thing, I tried calling the number. No answer. Go figure.

The best part?? It wasn't on one of my jobs

Well, that was a nice 250 ton crane. Someone wasn't thinking. Did anyone get hurt?

No injuries.

Story is, this was the 6th pick (they had been on the job 5 previous times setting the other panels with a 225). Apparently, the engineer marks the spots with a big red 'X'...where the outriggers go. The builder was responsible for propping the slab.

Soooooo, something went wrong. No propping..? missed the 'x's..? size change not accounted for..? to much coffee..? Don't have the rest of the story. This was in Sept, '08.

when I was in the military they were doing a refit on a aircraft carrier and had a simular thing happen on the flight deck, needless to say the skipper was not very happy as it meant another 4 weeks in refit to fix the miss happ

Note: 4" pan deck slab not suitable for 250 ton crane outrigger

Oof-da, ,as the Norski's would say here in MN.
Grizzly is right. A google search says they are located in Australia. I wonder if "stimulus" money will bail them out too.?
