Скачать или смотреть Construction Week In Focus: Dubai contractor ALEC's record-breaking cranes

ALEC will break a company record by using the tallest tower crane in its history when it builds Ithra Dubai’s One Za'abeel twin-tower development.

The builder will break its own record for the third time in less than five years when it tops out the tallest One Za'abeel tower, with a crane mast height reaching more than 330m from its base.

This video also provides updates on the $1bn (AED4bn) Marina Gate development by Select Group, which ALEC is currently building in Dubai. The high-end lifestyle project is located in a super-prime site of one of the city’s top residential hubs, and the client has spared no expense on it.

ALEC is clearly hitting its stride on Marina Gate and has already broken a company record twice for using the tallest tower crane in its history. The record was set on MGI using a Liebherr 280 EC-H 16 high-top crane that topped out at 240m from its base. ALEC broke this record again in March 2018 for MGII when the crane topped out at 288m.

Liebherr’s Litronic crane was erected and commissioned on site in October 2016, with a freestanding height of 56m. It was operational for a total of 743 days, clocking up more than 7,400 working hours going non-stop, seven days a week. It was only down for 51 hours during this time, and thus boasts an impressive breakdown rate of just 0.0068%. A 500-tonne mobile crane with a super lift will be used to help dismantle and remove the big crane.

In this video, Oscar Rousseau, deputy editor of Construction Week, details ALEC's activities on both One Za'abeel and Marina Gate.
