Update on Tunnel Boring Machine & Crane Removal

July 25, 2012 by EN Consulting Group Leave a comment

July 25, 2012

Thanks again to all of you for your patience and understanding today. The Tunnel Boring Machine is now in place photos have been previously posted to this site during the delivery and load in of the machine, and some are also below. We appreciated the opportunity to speak with several residents of 25 The Esplanade today. Their kind words were greatly appreciated.

Please note that the mobile crane used to lift the machine into place will be removed from the site by approximately 9 pm this evening. The truck used to move it needs to avoid rush hour traffic. The mobile crawler crane that will be used during the boring operation will be delivered to the site later this week. Updated details will be posted here at https://ltowerconstructioninfo.com/.
