Max. Load Weights: 19,5t (21.5USt)

Eight Terex luffing jib tower cranes were chosen by Select Plant Hire to help deliver The
Shard in London, the glass-clad 87-floor tower,
the tallest building in the EU at a height of
310m. This project broke records by placing
the tallest crane, a CTL 180-16, at a height of
317m with the help of a mega tie system
specially designed by Select, which used 20m
long lattice steel structures.
The first crane models used were two Terex
CTL 400 -24 luffing jib tower cranes configured with 40 and 50m jib lengths to lift com
ponents weighing up to 19,5t. Model one was
mounted on a 185m steel cantilever grillage;
model two was erected on a 132m reinforced
concrete foundation, anchored with a mega
tie at 93m.

An 84m high Terex CTL 180-16, erected


200m above ground, jumped or climbed
into place at floor 56 to enable work on the
Shards final spire, rising to level 96. The erection of the spire required over 100 lifts to raise
the large floor and faade elements.
Each of the spires faade sections can measure up to three floors. Comprised of 800 sep
arate pieces of steel, entire sections were
pre-mounted off-site, and then transported to
the construction site. Fully extended, the Terex
CTL 180-16 sat 317m above ground level, 7m
taller than the highest point of the tower a
record for the highest crane ever used in the
UK.

Designed by internationally renowned architect


Renzo Piano, the 166m tall tower in Turins historic downtown is the new group headquarters
of one of Italys leading banks, San Paolo IMI.
The tower houses offices for about 2.000 staff
and a customer service center. It built in proximity to Turins historic downtown.
The Design and construction of this modern
building was complex. The tower featured steel
and concrete structures with overhanging
floors and a cantilevered auditorium. Positioning the Terex Luffing Jib tower cranes that
helped construct this tower, two CTL 630 and
one CTL 430, was a challenge. Additionally,
the very narrow jobsite, characterized by two
adjoining main roads on either side of the
building and a public park on the third, ruled
out the use of a jib with hanging load over
these zones. This and a tight construction
schedule was why Terex Cranes was chosen
for the job.

Maxim Crane Works

Maxim Crane Works, L.


P., acquired a new
Terex SK 575 tower crane as part of a full
turnkey package to support general contractor Turner Constructions project at the Good
Samaritan Hospital Medical Office Building,
Cincinnati, OH. The project involved the construction of an eight story building. The SK 575
was chosen for its fast assembly, lifting capacities and line speed to match the strict jobsite
planning, performance and production requirements.
The primary challenge on this restricted, urban jobsite was its tight just-in-time assembly
schedule. Set within 30m of an open lane of
heavy traffic, strict traffic control and precise
planning requirements were critical to the successful assembly of three cranes within the allocated two days. Maxim Crane Works called
on Terex Cranes to work an extremely fast
turnaround to deliver a brand new SK 575 directly to the jobsite within a month and a half
of its customers order.
Thanks to the responsive support of the
Terex Cranes team, the entire process went
precisely as planned. In addition to a cranes intrinsic product qualities, delivering efficient results particularly on an extremely tight justin-time schedule demands the responsive
support of a skilled team to provide the solutions its customers business relies on.
Terex Cranes support in application engineering has greatly contributed to our com
panys success within the industry, said Matt
Hyden, Operations Manager for Tower Cranes,
Maxim Crane Works.

The family-owned business is well-experienced in the maritime industry. Founded by
merchant mariner Mr. William Detyens in 1961,
and owned by son-in-law, Mr. D. Loy Stewart
since 1982, the company specializes in the repair, refurbishment and conversion of government-owned and commercial vessels. From
dredgers and barges, to container carriers,
tankers and cruise ships, the size of vessels
has steadily increased over the years with the
worldwide growth of the shipping industry.
Detyens has adapted well to changing trends
by offering ship owners a quality infrastructure with the ability to handle vessels of much
larger dimensions. The acquisition of two Terex
SK 415-20 hammerhead tower cranes was
critical in meeting the challenge.
As D. Loy Stewart explained, Todays vessels are very much larger than those that we
have traditionally been accustomed to working
on. The height, capacity and reach of our
SK 415-20 cranes allow us to reach the ships
extremes while enabling our operators to see
exactly what they are doing, which is paramount to efficiency and safety.

Building Mumbais Airport


CTT Flat Top Cranes
Larsen & Toubro
India

To be able to handle the increase in passengers and meet the demand for larger cargo
volumes, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai has been continuously expanding since 2006. Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is building a new multi-story parking structure and a
new air traffic control tower, and is relying on
their Terex CTT 181-8 and CTT 231-10 tower
cranes to do the job.
Construction work near Indias largest airport and in the country s most populated area
while keeping the airport open during the construction phase is definitely a challenge.

To build the new parking structure and air


traffic control tower, the cranes were set up inside the airports busy area due to their lower
overall height. The Terex CTT 181-8, which was
fixed to the ground, was chosen to build the
new control tower, while the Terex CTT 231-10,
with a rail configuration, was chosen for the
parking structure. The cranes enabled the L&T
team to perform their work quickly and precisely, while at the same time complying with strict
safety regulations.

Five Terex tower cranes (four Terex


CTT 181B -8 TS 21 models and one Terex
CTT 331-16 TS 23 model) worked for nearly
two years on the construction of two residential towers as part of a large restructuring and
re-design of Porta Nuova Isola District in
Milan, Italy. Once built, the towers will provide
Milan with over 110.000 m of office and residential space, 160.000 m designated for pedestrian use and approximately 20.000 m for
cultural events. The project has prompted interest from the start, because they feature jutting terraces that will accommodate 480 medium and large-sized trees, 250 small trees,
11.000 perennials and ground cover plants,
and 5.000 shrubs in other words, 10.000 m
of woods. It is being constructed by several
well-known Italian contractors. One of them
is ZH GCC SpA from Campo Tures, outside
Bolzano. As stated by its CEO Werner Zimmerhofer, Terex provided the best solutions, as the
CTT 331 stands out for operating speed and
has an 8t capacity. The CTT 181s are easy to
operate and in my opinion are the most reliable
in their category.

OAO Metrostroy made use of a full turn key


crane solution provided by Terex on a major
power station project in Saint Petersburg, Russia, involving the construction of a 120m wide,
150m high cooling tower to replace the existing facility. One of the initial constraints identified was the impressive height at which the
crane would be working, which was no problem
for the Terex CTT 331-16 tower crane.
The plan was to erect the crane inside the
cooling tower to protect it against the extreme
weather conditions. This required a solution to
avoid the labor-intensive and costly process of
setting-up and dismantling the cranes 65m
boom and telescopic cage inside the cooling
tower wall. A system was devised consisting of
eight pairs of 40mm thick pre-stressed steel
cable anchors, attached in two stages as the

cooling structures wall grew higher, and fixed


on two separate levels of the cranes tower.
The cables were pre-stressed to compensate
for stretching, and then rigged at a tension of
17t per cable to withstand the increased pressure. An innovative jib dismantling device was
also specially designed for the job.
From March through September 2010, the
CTT 331-16 worked around-the-clock using a
self-climbing framework to adjust to the structures increasing height, steadily lifting and
placing the steel reinforcements and liquid
concrete to form the towers wall.
The CTT 331-16 performed perfectly completing the job on schedule, said Andrey
Chukichev, Equipment Supplies Director, JSC
GRPM, Saint Petersburg.

Cambodia

Restoring a World Heritage

World Monuments Fund
Cambodia

Phnom Bakeng is one of the most threatened


monuments of Angkor, Cambodia. Dating back
to the late ninth century, the hill-top temple is
probably the oldest in the area by several hundred years but today it is known for its panoramic view of the much larger Angkor Wat
temple situated about 1,5km away. Over the
centuries Phnom Bakeng has suffered the ravages of nature and war but more recently is
being damaged by tourism with up to 1.000 inadequately supervised visitors at any one time
clambering on and damaging its fragile structure.
Restoration work first started in 2004 when
urgent stabilization work to the temples collapsed south west corner was carried out.

Transported through dense jungle

allowed long-term conservation work to be carried out including stabilization, repair, waterproofing and partial reconstruction. To help
with the restoration, the WMF decided the best
way forward was to use a compact and easily
transportable self-erecting tower crane for lifting and placing materials. They chose a Terex
CBR 24 Plus.
A substantial raised reinforced concrete
platform was constructed to form a solid base
for the crane. Once the platform was completed, the Terex CBR 24 Plus was transported up
the hill to the temple along a very small and
steep pedestrian path that was widened by a
locally rented bulldozer. After the crane was
erected it was ready to assist with the restoration work.
