@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist9 Stay away from the New International Version. It’s a bad version to read from, because it’s missing a lot of scriptures! Seek other versions to help you understand His Word! But keep doing the LORD’s work! Selah 🕎🕊💟
I watched this with a real sense of pleasure at watching true professionals at work. My absolute respect to all involved. Genuinely a really professional operation involving people that take pride in their work and take even greater pride in their consideration of others safety. People like these build our world : )
I just love the whole, "we found a Krull 10000 on the internet".. I was expecting them to say "we won it on Ebay!" But I have to give it to them, that's one HELL of a project in what looks like a very tight work space, well done to a safe and successful project.
We had a girl do that here in Toronto recently. It took a special team of trained firefighters several ours to go up, go to the end of the boom and down the cable to the 6 inch wide cable jib (terminolgy?).They then put her in a ling and lowered her down where she was arrested, had a mental health assessment and then went to jail. She is now facing trespassing charges as well as charges related to having to call the fire department and police out. She also is facing a civil suit from the contraction company for lost time and wages for the construction crew and is being billed for the police, security company and fire crew. Totals cost is estimated to be $200 to $300 thousand Dollars. All this because she was bored and wanted to see a thrill. She is likely going to get a sentence of two years less a day in jail.
Retired IW out of Local 387. You guys were smooth. Last year here in Atlanta some guys were taking one down here and screwed up. Evacuated buildings around it, blocked off a major street, genuine cluster. $$$$, all fine and dandy till it goes south. I worked with some solid guys over the years. Certainly not a easy profession, a rewarding one for sure.
As a former Union Ironworker I never had the opportunity to erect or breakdown of a tower crane. One regret I do have. Great job guys, you made me proud! Razor!
I worked as a crane coordinator for Syncrude for a couple of years... was always curious to see this done but was stuck in the office!! Really great video!!
That is a Monster Tower Crane! I don't think you can appreciate just how big that thing is unless you have been around some normal towers. The tip being 28,000 lbs is insane. Great Video!
I watched a tower crane being assembled and dismantled near my house last year,and I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the courageous men who work on cranes. I watched one guy walking along the jib while it was slewing,and I recalled my days building scaffolding. No comparison! These guys have real guts!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I have such mad respect for all of you Men, that assemble, operate and then, tear these Cranes down. My Father ran Cranes to 150 tons, for 30 years, until he retired, and my greatest memories were of him, loading our crew boats and Offshore Supply boats in Port, where I worked, and before that, rigging for him in the summers and on weekends. I have an abject fear of heights, so I DOUBLE respect you all, for working so high up, and riding the baskets. You are all awesome.
I worked in a maximum security prison for 6 years with some of worst people alive. Did multiple cell entries when the inmate had a weapon and id do it again if I had to. Your job you couldn't pay me enough to do that. Hell no. That is where my cowardice would show. Respect gentlemen. That's something I could never ever do.
I mean operator is making probably north of 200+ a hour and the crew taking this baby down is probably also at least north of 40-60 a hour if I would guess. Sooo almost a mill a year would definitely make me want to do this lol
I do safety here in southeast texas , that was one of the best dissasimblies i have seen, the safety aspect of this job is the key to a better day, and a day you go home safe, great job hands.
As a retired industrial Pattern Maker of 42 years, I find this very fascinating , wonderful engineering and men and women so dedicated to their job and to the safety of all.Thanks for sharing.
I worked at Syncrude in 1986 and remember they had the largest lathe on the planet at that time (another lathe, it's brother was in Russia). Oh, and the highest I ever had to work at was Petrosar refinery in the late 70's and early 80's. I worked in utilities and had to issue permits during the shutdown in 79 or 80 (don't remember which) and I had to climb the (about) 356 ft to the top of the flare and conduct gas meter testing for LEL's, O2 etc. for entry into the flare stack for inspection and repairs. I think I still have a Syncrude jacket and a Petrosar work shirt. Also I remember working at Suncor the night of the massive Syncrude fluid coker fire in late 1984 (as I recall)
My fear of heights has me feeling like puking just watching this, and it's like some form of energy is being sucked through the soles of my feet, and my legs feel like they're no longer mine. Great clip. I just watch it with my eyes closed, and listen to the soundtrack.
The beginning of this video reminded me of Jackass beginning with Johnny Knoxville saying "Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass then he proceeds to getting the f*£k kicked out of him by something or someone, but instead this video shows the very best highly trained skilled men risking their lives to improve our world. Mega respect.
@@memyself1176 Kim...........you want respect. Feed your people. Release the innocent prisoners. Open your border to allow N. Koreans to leave, if they choose. Have the UN to validate your elections. Oh. Your nukes have no range. Or accuracy.
Glad there are guys with the balls to do this kind of work. Lots of negative comments from people who would more than likely shit their pants doing work half as dangerous.
@@thatduderemi6377 Just saw a video where 5 men fell to their death erecting antenna tower. They was hoisting final section and bolts broke. 3 of them was inside the section being lifted. It fell cutting the tension cables releasing the energy which in turn brought the whole tower down. Horrible to watch. Its on youtube
Pandayotegoog Leintheass its not so bad when you ease into the sky u work ur way up so it kinda feels lile u never left the ground,,,, its when u been off for 5 months and hire in and get thrown into the middle of a project takin place at 400 ft in the air with the wind howling,,,yea it will knock your rockss off for sure! At rush so intense your forget what time it is! Pretty cool shit
I was up at Ft Mackay picking up a pipelayer and saw the K-10,000 while it stood there. Like a sentinel. I had no idea it was dismantled til I went past mid sept to Firebag and saw it missing. That's why I searched for this. Very interesting the amount of work involved.
WOW!! WHAT A BUNCH OF PROFESSIONALS ,REAL TEAM WORKERS. MADE MY BUTT HOLE CLOSE UP AND I WAS SITTING IN EASY CHAIR JUST WATCHING VIDEO. THANKS TO ALL GREAT JOB AND WONDERFUL VIDEO. NOT SOMETHING I COULD OR WOULD DO. AMAZING! THANKS AGAIN.
i was there the week they took the more difficult section down they sent most workers home but i was fortunate enough to work through and watch it coming down.I was also fortunate enough to get onto the mast and inspect a scaffold up there
Ive worked around this stuff and It's always amazed me the thought that goes into these structures. "We're going to get her to the ground and box her up". Awesome!!!
as an electrician I have worked on many projects where these cranes were used. Usually by the time i arrived at the site the crane was already erected, and i often wondered how these beasts were assembled and disassembled......questions answered thanks for the video, and much respect to these professionals
I worked with Assembling and disassembling tower cranes for almost 5 years mostly Liebherr and Linden Comamsa. Best job i ever had. Working in a crew like those guys is special. It look easy but trust me, it's NOT. There's allot to consider when you assemble or disassemble a tower crane, one single mistake can be catastrophic.
The best part is that if you make a critical life altering mistake you only have a brief period of time to reconsider your course of action that led to the unfortunate outcome you are about to face!
Doesn’t look easy to me! Upon every pin removal I’d be holding my breath and hoping we considered where everything is gonna move once disconnected. Say a little thank you prayer and then on to the next ass puckering pin removal. This gave me heart arrhythmia just watching the video.
thanks so much for this really great and teaching video where everything is about why and where and when etc. i really like that, it is so great to get a "inside" look to this kind of work we normally never hear about
I take off my hat to these MEN who perform such dangerous and essential work.The button pushers who send billions around the world in seconds should be introduced to some real productive labour.This is what makes the human world function!
Squarerig ...Button pushers, cube farm whiteshirt workers who are obese or milktoast need a workout everyday before work...including a 1 mile run...They would feel very good about themselves..oh...And a Wes Watson video...lol...
Absolutely awesome. There is no room for cowboys in the crew - quite different than many oil drilling/pumping rigs. Every move ya'all made was deliberate, patient, and necessary. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into what it takes to safely disassemble one of these monster tools. Much respect.
Amazing work, well produced video. I respect these Iron Workers and there skills. Congratulation on a successful, installation, and removal of the Huge piece of equipment.
I like this work,iam pilipino tower crane erector, working liebherr and ueg Qatar.. and doosan company terex and comodel..always God bless you to all...
That's pretty amazing. I would wet myself if I was inside one of those baskets way up there. Morning meeting: "Don't drop any tools or bolts, okay?" Long way down!
Watching this video has really showed how much work goes into dismantling these huge cranes, it's a highly skilled job done by real professionals, these men deserve huge pay checks for that work
That's one big ass problem elbow walkers think they Luke and pretend to understand guess know much about much in life pathological lying refuse correction refuse truth refuse to question any pretend to understand run mouth like saying something ego arrogant jackass never been we the people's anti justice anti truth anti freedom to ego arrogant jackass to know it
You fellows got very dangious job and my thumb goes up for each one of you guys,hope the pay is great cause I got good idea what you all deal with cause I been steel fitter and erector about 15 years,great job may God keep you all safe and God Bless each one of you guys keeping you all safe an going home each day
Jntterminx, you only need “40 foot square area.” (a square about 6 1/2 feet on each side) actually, that is what the guy said in the video, but the specifications I looked up say it sits on a 40 foot diameter concrete pad (which is an area of about 1256 square feet) still, that is an incredibly small footprint for such a massive and capable machine!
Jorgie Vencez, I don’t really know what you are trying to say, but I do know anything that “inhibits” pedophilia is a good thing! Anything, (including a bullet to the head, or castration of pedophiles, if neccessary, etc.) that allows a child to grow up innocent and prevents the torment of any child is a good thing!
amazing to watch ...true professionals who have respect for the dangers of this work...not a bunch of dumb , no problem here , let's knock this out....guys......this is why steel workers ..riggers.. crane operators earn what they do
+Sign in Here .......from what i've heard in the past...union steel workers are $100+ an hour....and crane operators easily double that, here in NYC anyway......
These construction cranes are something that many people take for granted. However as we just learned there are great trained professionals that are as cool as can be about setting up and taking down these monsters. All in a days work…
@Mark Jacobs alberta goin for shit now the political bullshit from everywhere all decided to fuck everything and there not done yet,running the province and the country right off the tracks
Back in the 60's in the UK, I was on a team building a Picon tower crane 100 foot tower, 100 foot jib. No other cranes on site as it built itself. After the base was constructed, the jib was built [about 15 feet off the ground] then the tower was constructed using a small jib. Then the cable drum on the jib was used to haul itself up using a long wire cable. About 40 feet up the cable snapped and the jib dropped back down breaking its self in half. Luckily I was a it fleeter in foot those days, because where I was standing holding a rope to stop the jib from revolving, was a heap of concrete from the ballast weight box!
I have the utmost respect for the ironworks, but what about us crane operator. We keep us all safe too. I know we have our own videos. Great job guys. RC
Hello I rigged for the boilermakers in Houston and was involved on manny rigging jobs for over 25 years.you get to love this kind of job..no mistakes not one is the rule I miss it .And the cash was great .
to put this in perspective for some people, at 11:05 he says it took 43 days to get close to the end. A typical dismantle job is like 2-5 days. 5 days and management gets mad
Try climbing to the top of a radio-telescope! Electronics doesn't mean you don't get to go up in the air... troubleshoot problems at the top of the silo, you get way up there!
I got into the crane driver gig by accident on my OE. Said I could control one as a casual labourer and up I went and learnt on the fly. All in Germany. Home to NZ eventually with crane XP. Crane driver for life.
