Extremely dangerous process of installing high-rise steel frames. Steel structure &fabrication works

[@Craneman4100w]

I spent a lot of years swinging iron in the Chicagoland area. I still miss it 7 years into retirement.

U ran the cranes?

[@Craneman4100w]

@@mikeowns8440 Yes, I operated almost every type of crane there is then spent the last 9 years before I retired as a crane instructor at my unions (IUOE local 150 ASIP) training site.

[@cooldog60]

Sounds like a very well paying job.

[@Craneman4100w]

@@cooldog60 I did ok. There are some trades that make more but being a crane operator and an operator in general was a childhood dream that I got to live out. I never wanted to be anything else.

[@stephenburkholder9411]

Why the flange splice plates before the alignment? I might put the bottom ones on but bottom AND top?

[@mikeowns8440]

Only the rich get better quality everything wake up kid

[@seamusmcinnes7160]

Non union.

[@markkaminski2416]

I agree, they made that more difficult than it should have been. Leave a bolt in the splice plate and swing it out of the way. 71 yo retired JIW

Tough ass workers to do this day in and day out. Respect.

The world would be nothing without steel and the men who tame it.

[@arrowphillips6902]

This brings back memories.. I sold my manufacturing company some years ago. On one side we manufactured Redbox, coin star vending machines, Genie lift components, Arospace, Arc’teryx store displays and furniture, and lots of other stuff, and then in the other building we fabricated and installed structural steel. I have always been a welder in my heart so being retired at 46 now I have really rebuilt my entire home and am now thinking of doing it all over again🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s like a drug.....lol I will do drawings and small one off custom jobs for some of my old customers but mostly life is chill 🙃.

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

If you're physically able to do it--resume. I am 55 and in construction and can move around like a 21 year old. Then again, I keep fit and take up Jiu Jitzu.

[@arrowphillips6902]

@@flexiblestrategist9922 well glad to hear you are feeling so young 👍....The physical part was the easiest part...almost calming. The business side was the exhausting part but I have never been one to do nothing so Im definitely going to start something when I finish remodeling my home within the next month or two.

Love the lack of harnesses in the aerial lift

A true salute to men. Where are all the woman?

[@chrishull9983]

That guy at 6.31 is not wearing protective foot wear right?? Is this an accepted dispensation for working in such conditions because let's face it - having to wear safety boots would be a severe hindrance.

[@burlyman1645]

Those boots he is wearing are the typical ironworker boot. They are flat soled because they give more contact with steel which prevents slips and slides. They tend not to wear the heavier, 'layered' leather boot because it limits flexibility and can get caught in places you don't want to get caught in.

[@geraldblackburn4883]

So you are an international student and living in Japan, what do you study, Structural Engineering ? From your picture, (really wouldn need to see more) but maybe you could model also.

[@JustHazardous]

If the crew is working properly (ie. with proper training and safety in place) then it really isn't "extremely dangerous" and shouldn't be. When you don't know what you're doing, the crane operator doesn't know what he's doing and nobody has proper fall protection, etc. then it is very dangerous.

[@chrish2685]

Shames the Average "Office Worker" with a nasty paper-cut and a dangerous wobbly desk chair!

[@nancyp3949]

It’s a hazardous trade indeed but it’s only dangerous if you don’t know how to identify and eliminate them.

what is the pay rate for this job?

lol... look at how they connected the splice plates... a 5 minute job

like everything else, it's dangerous if you do it wrong or have people who are not properly trained

I think it's better to describe it as installation instead of erection.

this must be some kind of college "how to video" without the over dub of a voice...
