CRANE BASE construction process. CRANE ANCHOR

[@TheMrasimqureshi]

Greg. Excellent video. Very good explanation of the setting of the crane base and the marking technique. I did not understand the reason for the offset of the base screw which had to be done before the crane base is lowered. Can you explain the reason for it? Quality par excellence. Congratulations.

Asim! Glad you like it :) Very happy you enjoy the vids :)

Thank you for making this video I work on civil engineering and I didnt understand plie cap process, but this video make understand me thank you !

Good to hear that Juzoo! Very happy I could help, see also pile cap video and this week I'll cover drawings for pile caps so I hope you will enjoy it too :)

can you upload the report? to learn how it should be? thanks great video

[@SITENG]

Hi Omar! I will try to show some as builts for it as there was nothing more required from us. I believe some report was done based on my survey and sent to crane contractor, I'll try to get it if it was more than my level&position survey.

Great video mate keep up the good work!!

Thanks Marian!!!, will do!

A lot of the crane bases I've done recently have a level tolerance of -1mm /+0mm. Is this one the same. I don't trust EDM for this sort of tolerance so I use precision level. Do you do the same?

[@SITENG]

Hi brother😊 Not really, I used EDM always and that's enough for me. Just shooting reflector less on the top of legs and making sure it's set and fixed correctly, so there won't be any movement during the pour. Tolerances are always like that, maybe 2mm max. Anchor itself is not perfect so don't stress too much and they always bring some shims if the post pour survey shows some discrepancies. The tolerance have to be set so tight so the special care will be given while constructing 😁 Imagine how they all be looking if you would just said that 10mm will be fine 😂

[@bareminimumbrother3980]

@@SITENG all my recent cranes have been falcon cranes. They don't check anything beforehand they just erect it (without shims) and only determine if it's out of plumb during testing once it's up and running. I'll always get it to 0mm for level as the cost of sorting it out can be very high. I'm not to fussy about position if it's not close to a structure.

[@SITENG]

Yeah, definitely level is most important, but I am surprised they don't ask for as built before they coming. That's another problem, that some companies looking for extra money and looking for problems instead of solutions, so the best thing is actually go perfect as you do (always is anyway and keeps us safe and sleeping well)

I'm unable to see how the scaffolding Jack was placed underneath the crane base column

[@SITENG]

Hi Tony! 5:09 we are dropping the crane base on the jack bolts.

[@tonymaguire9498]

Okay dude do you work Saturdays I can come help you for experience I'm in north London thanks

[@SITENG]

Don't do Saturdays, but it might change within few weeks.

[@tonymaguire9498]

Okay dude, [e-mail] keep me updated, I have an honours degree in construction management 2008

when are the drawings coming out Greg?

Hi Chris! I will start in 2 weeks latest :)
