Absolutely. I get scared going up a ladder in my house. These guys are fearless.
Retiring from my 40+ construction career (hard)Hats Off to all Iron Workers and Tower Crane Operator(s)!! 👍Well done!
Drones give such great views of things like this, perspectives we never got in the past.
Fuuny thing about this new generation of supertalls. They are about as tall as the WTC or Sear Tower in Chicago but only have 60-70 floors.
Horrible sound choice😩but good video!
11:11 you can see “Last Column 270” written in yellow on the beam. You truly captured a very unique moment. Thanks for sharing! Timeless footage…
The co-ordination of the crews on the ground and up top and the crane operator to organize each piece and communicate with each other so that everything flows seamlessly is amazing. This is teamwork.
They all deserve a raise 👏 😊

I purposefully passed this new tower for a view. As an engineer, I’m extremely impressed with the massive beams that support this structure. Looks like an inverted pyramid.
Kudos to them boys who do that work everyday. Takes alot of balls and courage to do that. Great work ironworkers you guys should be getting paided more than what you make. My hats off to you men
I can imagine the time and patience as well as the skill of both the drone pilot and the steel workers on this. Saw a news person filming too so must've been a media-coverage day / week. But cool that the construction site would allow it and be open to close-up filming especially high up. Great moments captured in time. Makes me think of the old film we see from when the Chrysler or ESB were being built. Maybe kids 100 years from now will get to look back on this and wonder what our lives were like.

I don't think you'd get away without a lanyard/tether on everything in the UK on any sizable job. If you're off the ground at all, lanyard/tether seems to be the rule, 6 or 7 foot drop is fast enough for a tool to hurt, if it catches you Insurance liability, etc, simpler to make a blanket site rule, less arguments. Had a hammer go off the side, from about 10 floors, into the public part of the site. My boss had to conduct bounce tests with a hammer to see how much they went sideways once they hit the floor, how they lost energy.
GREAT VIDEO !!!!

They should have it easier too, that was at the time of the depression. Doesn't take much imagination to think what the working conditions were like in 'buyers' market. How many men died then, as die now, how many lives was it worth to put up a building? Saw a documentary with workers from the Empire state, one guy lost a hot rivet over the edge fell on a bus, never heard anything more about it though.

Realmente. Até a porca que o operário colocou sobre a chapa por alguns instantes já me deixou preocupado. Mas essa chave que é pontuda do outro lado tem dupla utilidade e toda tentativa do pessoal de segurança para tê-la amarrada deve ter sido rejeitada pelos operários. Acho que se uma cair o operário pula atrás para pegá-la.

It looks like they are working on a setback, which means anything dropped will only fall 5 or 6 floors to the next level. Most construction has netting around the perimeter to catch objects. Unlike the old days when walking on the street was almost as dangerous as working up there, untethered in the clouds. Safety first, at least in developed countries.
Truly awesome that such a massive building still comes together with human muscle tightening bolts, one by one. These guys do amazing work. Do they know that the bolts will never loosen through decades of vibration?
