Yup. Winds started to pick up. Hard to keep the tagline taut. Derrick has a 30km/h maximum operating wind speed, pretty restrictive especially downtown with wind tunnel effects. With winds picking up again this week, outer 3 jib sections needed to be removed to reduce cantilever and stress on...

230m tagline!

Dismantle ongoing… winds at 750 ft slow things down. Jib lowered to dismantle angle. Counterweights removed.

Indeed. Prep for climb down, internal climbing frame work first to allow it to lower

If only the winds can come down

Seems to match my previous comment ;)

Surface parking should be going in within the corridor.

South crane (luffer) going up first. Couldn’t shut down Bathurst so forced to lift across the entire site to erect it. North crane will be a short jib flat-top.

It's to service smaller structure going in behind the old Bond St brick buildings. Tricky design, had to keep the crane jib below the SMH flight path, way from hospital tower, and away from the other crane.
