“The liner cup is the base for the reactor’s steel containment which is being prefabricated in five parts and lifted into place by Big Carl,” EDF explained in a September 2020 blog post. In the November 2020 project Update, EDF Energy explained that 2 of the reactor buildings and 1 turbine hall have gone vertical on the project that is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.īig Carl, the gigantic yellow crane in the video below, is working in the prefabrication area of the site and recently lifted a 187 ton “liner cup” into place in the second reactor building. This single project will have 55 by itself.

Now, the jobsite boasts an abundance of crane activity, a true site to behold, and it was captured on aerial footage for you to enjoy.Īccording to KHL, Big Carl will be accompanied by up to 55 tower cranes at the peak of construction, as well as Marr Contracting’s Favelle Favco M2480D Heavy Lift Luffing (HLL) tower crane, which is widely believed to be the world’s largest luffing jib tower crane.įor comparison, Seattle, Washington had the most active tower cranes in the United States with 65 in 2018 across all jobsites. Even at a larger radius of 100 metres, it can lift an amazing 2.000 tonnes. This crane has a maximum load moment of 250.000 metric tonnes, allowing it to lift an astonishing 5.000 tonnes. Big Carl, as the huge crane was nicknamed, began work a few months later on the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in England. Sarens launched the massive SGC-250 crane, the largest in its fleet and the mightiest in the world in both size and capacity. Heavy lifting specialist and Gleistein client ALE performed this historic task as part of an FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) vessel integration project in southern Brazil. 2 years ago, crane manufacturer, Sarens, unveiled what is considered to be the world’s largest crane, by both size and lifting capacity. A new world record of more than 3,000 metric tons has been set for the heaviest commercial load ever to be lifted by a land-based mobile crane.
