The Base of the Tower Crane


A few days ago, I posted a small gallery of photographs of the tower crane assembly, but I forgot to post this photo of the tower crane base. At 10 feet deep, this hole is filled with rebar and cement to keep the tower crane secure.

This photo was taken by Desmond Truite, assistant project manager. I let him use one of my DSLRs, and he climbed a mound of dirt to get this angle. Don't you think he did a good job?!

Mr. Truite is my construction site escort--he keeps me safe as I take photographs of the construction site. He's a really great person--he's also very patient with the many questions I have about construction.
