There is a new cane base up at Brookfield place, My guess is the crane on the northwest corner which is inside the building footprint is moving over opposite the south crane just like 8th ave place was set up. the move should be happening soon!

The final crane is coming down at the NMC, list updated.

Looked like the second crane at Brookfield was going up this morning

Bigtime · #**1004** Posted **Apr 17, 2015, 8:38 PM**

So still just the two cranes on site at Brookfield?

mersar · #**1005** Posted **Apr 17, 2015, 8:43 PM**

(I meant third)

Ok, call me crazy. Just checked the webcam and yes its just still two. The huge Mammoet crane is also sitting there, so maybe something is going to happen soon (though it may be needed for something else too)

My guess is it's happening this weekend, they are going to move the crane off the existing mast and put it on the new one, then have the new setup build itself

Surrealplaces · #**1007** Posted **Apr 20, 2015, 12:10 AM**

It looks like they just moved the crane a bit further to the west. Pics later.

They did not complete setting up the second crane at Brookfield over the weekend. Thoughts are it needed to be serviced??
Crane base is in at Smith so that one should be up within a couple weeks

Crane is going up today at Smith, as well as the second crane is going back up at Brookfield as per the webcam.

Bigtime · #**1010** Posted **Apr 25, 2015, 5:44 PM**

Added Smith to the list.

Just drove by Bonnybrook plant and they're almost done erecting a second crane at the southwest portion of the plant, couldn't take any pictures as I was driving on Deerfoot as I saw it.

Bigtime · #**1012** Posted **Apr 30, 2015, 12:38 PM**

I'll add the second Bonnybrook crane to the list, will actually be driving by it later tonight and will confirm if it is fully up.

I saw that crane the other day, the tower was partly up but it looked too skinny to be a full tower crane. Is it actually?

Yupp, I thought the same thing but as I drove by this morning I could see that it is indeed a proper tower crane.

Drove by this afternoon and while it is a tower crane with a cab and everything, it does look like a 7/8's scale one.

Bigtime · #**1016** Posted **May 1, 2015, 1:50 AM**

Yeah, I just drove by it too. It's probably the smallest tower crane I've seen, but it does have the cab up top for the operator so I think it just makes the cut for the list.

Cruzer · #**1017** Posted **May 2, 2015, 9:26 AM**

There is now a second crane at the Northwest Recreation Facitility

Bigtime · #**1018** Posted **May 2, 2015, 1:11 PM**

I will update the list, thanks!

Spring2008 · #**1019** Posted **May 2, 2015, 5:15 PM**

Finally hit the 50 mark after I few years hovering around it!

Crane on The River has come down.
