Documentary recounts choreographed crane deconstruction.
Regular readers of DemolitionNews (I really MUST come up with a term for you guys) will recall that we recently shared with you a time-lapse film of a hammerhead crane being dismantled Down Under.
Well, the full story of that complex deconstruction has now been told in a documentary and, thanks to Liberty Industrial, we can bring you that documentary exclusively.
Liberty Industrial carried out the deconstruction of the historic Hammerhead Crane located at the Garden Island Naval Base on Sydney Harbour.
The project involved dismantling a giant cantilevered dockside crane for the Department of Defence. The structure was progressively dismantled in large sections in a highly choreographed sequence, engineered to maintain the structural stability of the crane.
In addition to the removal of the structure, the project had a substantial salvage component with the preservation and restoration of numerous heritage significant components of the crane.
