^ usually, the cranes of these tall buildings are "mounted" onto the building and grew with them, they are installed inside the hole for the elevators for instance ...


@skaala: where did they use that crane ?

"thirteen K-10000, the world largest tower crane, to former U.S.S.R and two K-10000 to USA for building nuclear power plants."

they have one in norway at a site that builds large oil platforms and other installations for use in the north sea. they also have a few others around the world. not so often at building sites for builings, but for lage installations and ships.

btw. tower cranes are remarkably quick to extract. normal "small" yellow ones doen't take more than a few hours.
