Let's all watch this erection together!

The truss system will actually sit on top of the two supports. Where you see each of the crane's attached to the structure itself, it is in 1 section from the end. These pick points are on the JAcobsen building side of each support. Once they get it close I would assume they would have a couple people at the top of each supporting structure as well as the JLG boom lift parked on the west side of Jake (not sure if one is on East side but I would assume so). They will rod it with their spud wrench through bolt holes on both the truss and support structure on both sides to help nudge or spin it that little bit to get it lined up and pop a bolt in at that time. I'm sure there are 50 or so bolts at the top that needs to be fastened so while they are fastening it the crane will still be attached to the member until all nuts and bolts are completely in place. At that time iron workers will climb to the top of the structure or use the boom lift to reach up to the top and unshackle the nylon straps at that point the cranes are done with the main lift
I bet it was like an 8 year old Chinese kid working on it, who is getting paid 12 cents an hour and hasnt had a break in like 14 hours.
To be honest I don't care as long as I can watch replays on a big arse video board.
i am pretty sure that every time you refresh this thread it also refreshes the pictures people are posting. at least it seems that way by looking at the timestamps
Yep, and if you open one of the pictures in its own window it refreshes and loads faster, plus you don't have to scroll
hopefully they create one for tonight because they usually are over the same time of day.
Yep. Open one of the pics to fullsize, and keep pounding away at the F5 key as fast or slow as you want to.
