Heads up! The 124-foot crane on the south side of the Olin Expansion construction site, bordering Mudd Field, is coming down this week. Disassembling the Liebherr 420 EC-H tower will take three days. This marks a major milestone in the building of Knight Hall and Brauer Hall which began in May 2012.
The south crane tower was errected in August, 2012.
The south tower was the first of two cranes errected on the construction site last summer. The tower measures 124 feet from its base to the peak of the crane. It has a hook height of 85 feet and a reach of 164 feet.
The $90 million project includes two five-story office and classroom buildings and a glass-covered Atrium with an amphitheater-styled Forum in the center. Construction is expected to be complete by the spring of 2014. Tarlton is managing the project.
