Tower crane disassembly Day 1 of 4: Removal of top segment

Watching the dismantling of #towercrane number 1 from below in a series of time-lapses, at various speeds, both close-ups and wide shots from multiple cameras at multiple locations. On this first day (out of four days), they use the climbing frame (which was already in place from back when the crane was raised higher) to remove the top tower segment. I assume this is to lower things enough to bring the top within reach of the big mobile crane that they brought in to disassemble the tower crane. We also see them undo the hoist cable. It was a typical foggy San Francisco morning, with the sun coming out, unfortunately, after they were already done removing the top segment.

Nothing but the highest regard for these men I’ve always marveled at their ability to work at extreme heights while working with tons of steel Simply amazing

RIP to the brothers we lost in Kelowna, BC doing this same job.

[@toshea1980]

RIP for sure, condolences to everyone involved. That story sent me down a rabbit hole of tower crane videos like this one. I've worked on sites like that one briefly and the tower cranes were always coolest yet nerve racking aspects of the job site. Much respect to anyone doing that job, and all the best to everyone affected by this tragedy.

Thank fucking God there are people willing to do this out there🙏

Wow I absolutely like this video

[@scotwoodz3787]

As I am watching this.....I am amazed ! I am amazed they don’t just blow it up, Like New Orleans just did. They thought it would be faster .........I may give this thread an update when they get it all cut up, cleared out, and taken in to the scrapyard. It’s so sad. Probably in a couple of weeks.

[@mbb6047]

Who here because of the Kelowna, B.C crane collapse?

[@PWlangford1]

Im trying to figure out how the Kelowna incidents happened. This job has many steps including the counter balancing. I think if any of the steps was missed could of caused the accident.

[@mbb6047]

@@PWlangford1 Hopefully we find out soon. But i think its going to take a while for the final derermination.

I wonder how much they make for this

[@davidstolts8499]

Who plays the music ? Santana ? Great Video ! Video and music play vary well together !!! Thanks for sharing !

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thanks. May sound sort of like Santana, but it isn't... I couldn't afford them...

Always wondered how the heck they set that up and take it down. Good video. Thanks. Also guy in orange shirt really didn't help all that much. And of all the jobs, crane operator is where it's at. While the other guys slaving it in the elements, ur in ur ac can with radio and ur little spot to pee and poop if need b. Lol

[@luisyadri71]

This tower crane works with hydraulic system??

[@carlossaraiva8382]

No, not the crane. The only hydraulic equipment is the climbing unit. The climbing unit is used to jack up the crane upper part and than to add or remove a tower section, thus climbing up or down the crane.

[@achristian7015]

You know, I could fly at 9500 feet with the door off dropping jumpers, but there is no way you could get me on that thing even with a safety harness on.

[@pedroelizondo9051]

No safety belts?

[@stantaylor524]

Same question I was thinking? Where are the safety belts? I wonder where this crane is located. I just saw a crane assembled here in D.C. recently and all the men were wearing belts. I have never seen a crew dissemble a crane without belts until this video. That's like playing Russian roulette.

[@PhilDesigns]

​@@stantaylor524 if you look closely they all have belts, they don't have to tie off unless they leave the railing area onto the floating section, which they do. The only guy I see that i'm not sure has a belt or not never leaves the railing zones.
