Left before the sun came up yesterday to set up a 550 ton crane at a new electrical substation. It takes 4 semis of weights and peripheral equipment just to set up this behemoth. A giant piece of electrical equipment was in route. As I understand it the set up/tear down cost just to get the crane on the job is at least 20K. After working a few hours setting up the big boy, Mid America showed up and said the truck bringing the giant transformer/switch gear had crashed and we might as well tear down and call it a day...
