This ongoing series shows the development of a new district, followed all along during its construction.
Recently part of the building area has been opened for the general public (and the newly inhabitants) which allowed me to take some close up pictures from the tower crane which is still in place.
The crane is bolted to a special concrete foundation [1][2] via a steel sub-frame and stabilized with two sets of concrete slabs with a total weight of 56 tons. It also has a lift to transport the crane-driver to his workplace (photo 4 cabin down, photo 5 cabin up).
