Site Visit: Deakin Uni


This image shows the crane attatched a precast concrete panel ready to be elevated into place. Notice behind it the blue bins are in place as a safe way of transferring rubble to bins below.


The connection of the concrete panel to the crane. A fixing was cast in place for the clasp to attatch to.


I beams connecting to a UB with using heavily bolted connections.
