the crane the crane

The spiral in the far corner of the main yard has Walt's hoist line hanging over it and a collar on it and there is activity in the corner. Could it be going up now? A little late in the day I think but you never know.

 

[BillSU]

I have yet to figure out what the black and white block Walt just raised but it shows up a lot. Have to work on that.

 

[BillSU]

Done for today I think. It was another great day.

 

[OrangeAl]

A great day, but hey, let's get those roof panels folded up and put away! Looks trashy.

 

[Franz69]

2 girders installed today plus another back stay being completed. Not a bad day.

LFGO!!!!!

Going through sports withdrawal and needed to cheer for something.

S e x ual innuendo. Sorely needed in these trying times.

 

[Qbobby]

Wouldn't be surprised if cable support removal for the old dome takes place overnight as that frees up the day to do girder work.

 

[gocusecaz]

Also looks like old roof is being loaded into the football trailer

Does anyone else get a Mile High Stadium vibe from the current look?

Crane rookie here. just started following this closely, can somebody tell me what a spiral is and what a girder is? wanna follow along but also would like to know what i’m looking at lol

Xennial here. I believe the girders are the rectangular pieces that form the ring around the top. The spirals are the thinner columns that support the girders.

Really hope the refurbished Dome can host the 2020 season. I hope it’s not 1943 all over again when there was no season due to WWII.

Here’s hoping that the border closing won’t bring any extra delays to the delivery of truss parts.

 

[NJCuse97]

I'm not sure they would shut down contracting work. Easier to keep distance working outside, and lets face it, it is a limited season to complete road work, etc. They may adjust best practices and job procedures, but I don't think they will shut down construction.

All construction has been halted in the city of Boston. New York City may be next. Cuomo has mandated that all workforces in NY be reduced to 50%. Strange times we are in here.

Lol thank you

 

[rocklloyd]

Lol thank you

And back stays are the brown triangular steel assemblies hanging off the side of the dome. They are temporary and go away once the crown truss is completed

A peek inside the Dome from Syracuse History on Instagram:

The guys at the end of that video are NOT 6 feet apart! Social distancing, boys!
