On a neighbouring site, but very close to our offices is another construction site. Old railway buildings are being converted to form the campus of the University of the Arts London. Between us and the large granary building in the background is the Regents Canal and this mobile crane turned up one day to put in two large section of pre-cast bridge sections. It was huge, must be one of the largest mobile cranes around. It stayed for about five days, getting set up, waiting for the two large pieces to arrive, and then lift the sections into position. Even hardened site men from our side were impressed, and we watched in awe as it simply just picked them up a swung them over.
We were standing five stories up, and the granary is six, it is big!
