Popular Post hindesky Posted September 6 Popular Post Share Posted September 6 Was heading to Costco when I saw the Crane Masters Inc. AT crane making its way in the hole so I stopped to take some pics. The rigger in the green high visibility vest confirmed it's going up this weekend. The worker is the orange vest is the Tellepsen superintendent I talked with before when they were setting up their work site office trailer. https://www.cranemasters.com 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 When I went by around 10 am they hadn't erected anything yet. I'm guessing it's too windy. All cranes have a note section in the operating manual that specify what that particular crane can safely operate at depending on the wind speed. The Tadano RT's I was operating could be operated up to 25mph above that you had to derate the capacities by 50% and when the wind is 32mph or higher you aren't supposed to operate the crane at all. The wind on the ground isn't what it is at the tip of the boom. Some crane's have an anemometer installed on the boom tip. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Forgot to mention that the concrete contractor is Building Concrete Solutions. They are a division of Tellepsen. Saw a bunch of their workers on site today. https://tellepsen.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredibly windy around here today. I was watching this from our balcony, along with the work at the new St. John's softball/tennis complex. Speaking of which, they were working at 6:30am. I could hear the beep-beeps from all the heavy equipment moving around. I thought Houston had a morning work curfew? I remember when I was making deliveries to job sites in the city they didn't want us there before 8am (if it involved heavy equipment making noise). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Geoff8201 Posted September 8 Popular Post Share Posted September 8 Despite the wind they got some of the second tower crane up. Tomorrow should be a great day to get the rest done. Not looking forward to it if we get tropical trouble mid week. Always at the mercy of the weather. When we did our second cooling tower cell this past spring the 900-Ton Luffer caught some issues with wind but issues unrelated with faulty sensors added a whole day and a half to the project. Last photo was from earlier when the flatbed trailed couldn’t back up enough to pivot his way out. The first tower crane was there to give the assist! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if they are trying to finish out the east and south perimeter foundation walls anticipating that Parcel 1 and perhaps 4 will begin breaking ground next month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM It was announced today that both the Commodore Perry and Luties restaurant in Austin, and the Bowie, in Ft Worth, both Auberge properties, received 2 Michelin keys which are like the restaurant stars. Along with Emma in San Antonio they were the only hotels in Texas to receive two keys. That bodes well for the Houston future Auberge hotel. As you can imagine, our son who is g.m. of Lutie's was very excited. He added that they were receiving 30 Michelin people today to stay at the hotel. Austin had 8 hotels make the list. Dallas had 4, while Houston managed 3. Both of the ZA ZAs and Fertitta's Post Oak Hotel. They said in the article that it was disappointing that Houston the 4th largest city had very few boutique hotels. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston has never had many truly luxury or boutique hotels. Its sad really. Houston's reputation of getting no tourists, and lack of media presence, is the culprit.
