This arch eventually had to be replaced by a more permanent solution. It was Mammoet’s task to engineer a plan to lift and skid the 35,000-ton shelter from its construction site to its destination for the next hundred years.

The construction of the crane is underway! The animation demonstrates how this new type of high capacity crane can be erected vertically in a very small area. This makes it the ideal heavy lift solution for efficient and safe project execution in congested spaces, such as plants and inner cities. The main boom is erected vertically with the help of a climbing frame. Once the main boom is in place, the back mast can also be installed vertically, eliminating the need to sterilize larger parts of a
