I believe they showed how it was done in an article about the mini- building boom in the Denver Post, a few weeks back...

Yes exactly. If you look at the pic you'll see one section towards the top that's slightly wider than the others. That section contains the hydrolic ram used to lift the top portion, where the jib rests, up while the crane grabs another section from the ground. The new section slides into the blank space just under the ram. Then the process starts over again. At some point the upper portion of the crane is attached to the frame of the building to add extra support, especially in wind.

I'm still laughing at this Gabe. Just thinking of every time one of them gets excited, the crane rises a few inches. haha... So stupid.

I really hope I don't start laughing tonight... I really don't want to explain it to my fiance. She already thinks I'm a super-dork....

Nice that's what I thought but wasn't sure, thanks DenTowers...

BroncoCSU05 · #**690** Posted **Jul 16, 2007, 1:25 PM**

#**691** Posted **Jul 16, 2007, 2:35 PM**

Its nice to be able to see it now as you drive on I-70.

comoneymaker · #**692** Posted **Jul 17, 2007, 5:15 AM**

Yea I noticed it from Colorado and I-70

CoVol · #**693** Posted **Dec 2, 2007, 8:41 PM**

glowrock · #**694** Posted **Dec 3, 2007, 12:31 AM**

I'll get a photo up later today from my apartment...they're just about to top off and are installing the railings along some of the balconies...woot

blm3034L!fe · #**696** Posted **Dec 3, 2007, 5:09 PM**

^ That would be nice, thank you IMB

I can't wiat to see that roof! I think it will be nice to have some type of design downtown that is not another box top. Now if the freggin Spire will just start back up, we will be in business baby...

IdahoMountainBoy · #**697** Posted **Dec 4, 2007, 2:16 PM**

Ok, it's about time I contribute something to this board instead of lurking quietly...

blm3034L!fe · #**698** Posted **Dec 4, 2007, 3:25 PM**

She is looking great! Wow great shot IMB does anyone else see all the potential in the immediate surrounding area? OMG this section of the City could one day turn out fairly nice IMO. I LOVE IT!!! How could one not love this building???

pablosan · #**699** Posted **Dec 4, 2007, 3:27 PM**

She sure does look pretty. That is an awesome perspective.

glowrock · #**700** Posted **Dec 4, 2007, 3:43 PM**

Awesome shot! Too bad so many surface lots are visible in that photo, though...
