Roof Work

[Alwayslearningelec]

Regarding commercial work. If you have a lot of large conduit, wire and equipment on a roof( say 8 stories) it is more efficient to have a crane pick the conduit/wire/equipment rather then bring it up via hoist?

Will you have a material boat or crib on the job? One pick with a full crib will likely save on labor even if you have to payoff the operating engineer a few hundred bucks for a pick.

Is this a job that has a crane on it?

Don't believe there will be a crane aside from the one we will have to set the generator on roof.

Not that I know of. Where do you get them from? Have to assmeble or they come together?

If the crane won't be available to move your material on to the roof I think that you've answered your own question.

We buy them. The come in all different sizes and configurations. All have lifting eyes at the four corners to allow sling attachments to be picked up by the crane. Typical "bribe" for the engineer is about $200-$300. For high rise construction you couldn't build a deck without them.

What do you mean by your last sentence??? Mean "without" them?

But one could hire a crane
