Tower Crane Inspection Projects

Our tower crane inspectors are always motivated to inspect new towers. Tower cranes offer breathtaking views of the beautiful skyline, and more importantly, gives our inspectors the opportunity to be a part of the most exciting building projects around. Massive structures could not be built without the lifting capabilities of the tower crane, as they exceed many of the limitations of most other mobile cranes. These awesome machines have a lot of working parts that require assembly and disassembly at ever worksite, so inspection plays an essential role in crane safety from start to finish. The complexity of tower cranes have prompted many contractors to hire HESCO for monthly inspections to make sure the tower cranes maintain their safe operational status.

Here are a few of our recent tower crane inspections.

JAVITS CENTER EXPANSION

Our crane inspectors have been very busy providing inspections on the $1.5 billion dollar LendLease/Turner Construction project to expand the Javits Center. The project is will be “substantially complete” by March 2021, according to governor Cuomo. This impressive construction site had 13,940 tons of steel fabricated for the new building. According to Curbed New York, The rooftop of the new building includes a one-acre farm that will produce 400,000 pounds of produce annually for the venue. Governor Andrew Cuomo says that the new development is expected to generate $400 million dollars annually for the state’s economy and create 6,000 jobs. We are humbled to be a part of such an ambitious and environmentally friendly project.
