  • A good piece on how to deal with high winds when you've got a tower crane on your jobsite. "Since some tower cranes can be disassembled in just a few days it is possible to have the cranes dismounted and out of harm’s way in time [before the storm hits]. Of course, it’s expensive to disassemble a crane like this and then put it back up, especially in the event that a storm changes path and doesn’t hit the construction site at all, but it’s likely less expensive than dealing with an uncontrolled tower collapse."
