A 200-ton All Terrain crane rented from Moir Crane Service hoisted a chiller weighing 16,500 pounds to the 14th floor of the CIBC Building in Windsor, Ontario. Owners of the building, Mikhail Holdings, will spend almost $1 million for the project, which included about a dozen specialists with Johnson Controls and sub-trades. Windows and a portion of concrete wall on the 14th floor were removed for the tricky installation.
When you combine the cost of the unit, renting the crane, installation, engineering drawings, disposal of the old unit and other details, the total came to about $890,000, not including tax, said Mikhail.
A crew of 12 worked on the installation Wednesday, including workers wearing safety harnesses who guided the unit into the 14th-floor opening. They originally planned to do the job Tuesday, but the wind direction wasn’t right for the crane operation.
