And where is the highest crane...

a guess:

total = 8 (2 prospect place, 2 cardiff pointe, 2 dumballs road, 1 just off Queen street, 1 maindy sidings)
highest = prospect place

Re: Crane Count

The height of the jib of the Prospect Place crane is 67.5 metres ( presumably the total height of the structure will be in the region of 200 feet) and is capable of lifting 12 tons. The weight of the concrete counterbalance is 26 tons.

It takes the crane driver in excess of ten minutes to climb the ladder to get to his little pod!

Re: Crane Count

a crane thread!! happy days are here again!

Re: Crane Count

Is there not one on the Admiral site any more?

I haven't been to that end of town in a while...

Re: Crane Count

You can add one or two over the next few months.

I've just posted this on the Capital Quarter thread as well, but JR Smart are due to start Number 2 next month

Don't, I'm really struggling with this bloody weather compared to how it was when I left Dubai in November ! I could do with a trip back to dry out.

It's nice to see a few developments and cranes around the city again. I'm really hoping a few more start to appear this year, particularly if Rightacres get their arse in gear on the first Capital Square office.

Re: Crane Count

Anyone know what this crane is doing?

Re: Crane Count

Any change in the Crane Count since Febuary?

Two cranes not mentioned above are clearly visible across the city - although strictly speaking they're in the Vale. There at Llandough Hospital, building the mental health unit that will replace Whitchurch.
