Tower crane workers work at 100 meters high: loneliness goes hand in hand

In engineering machinery and equipment, tower a, die another day. The giant above us, in our eyes, is the operator standing on the high ground, and what they feel is the feeling of loneliness.

Changsha City, Hunan Province, in the most prosperous Wuyi trade circle, the tower crane workers are working on the platform 136 meters high, here is the first high-rise building. They looked up at the blue sky and bowed their heads, and the city looked like a dense electronic instrument at their feet. But at the same time, this is an extremely dangerous work, little attention will be smashed to pieces. The builders are Changsha wharf IFC tower T1 twenty-sixth layer construction. According to the design, the whole building has 95 floors and 452 meters.

Such tall buildings, the tower crane tower crane is the most essential, the core of the whole construction process of the power to a small bar, to dozens of tons of steel, construction materials all through crane vertical transportation to aerial work surface.

Pan Linhai is a tower crane driver on the construction platform, the general construction of such skyscrapers, the role of hanging tower. Sitting in the cab of the crane, Pan Linhai had little time to focus on from a height overlooking the city scenery, all efforts are focused on every step of the operation of the tower crane, can not tolerate the slightest careless.

From the ground to the tower crane platform, first take the elevator construction, walk stairs, and with hands and feet in a vertical ladder, the road for about 20 minutes. In the future, with the increase of the floor, this time will be longer.

Every day before going to work, Pan Linhai to tower crane routine checks, to ensure that everything is normal. Tower crane every work 500 hours, but also for a "systemic maintenance", always maintain the best condition.

On this day, there is a small fire in the city of Pan Linhai, an eye can reach the scene, in addition to smoke, as well as a platform with a safety helmet for high-altitude workers.

Lonely workers in the height of 100 meters

Pan Linhai said, in fact, in meters altitude, the most intolerable is lonely, "in addition to voice came over the intercom, only the cloud in the sky and the birds flying by the company."

Construction materials transportation crane driving through the window operation if there is 1 cm deviation, it may cause the air big swings, even affect the efficiency of construction accident. Therefore, the crane driver in each crane to send goods are particularly careful to transport a material as short as a few minutes, as long as half an hour, and the driver must maintain a posture during this period.

Working on the tower crane, every day "small convenience" can only be solved with a large oil drum, which is estimated to be the highest toilet in the city". Pan Linhai said that the crane driver often stayed on top for 10 hours, when busy, he often did not dare to drink plenty of water, usually in the diet should be more attention, absolutely can not eat bad belly, otherwise it will image the whole project.

The appearance is bright, but actually helpless

At 6:30 in the evening, Pan Linhai shift, windy night. Every night is when the lamps and candles of a myriad families climbed the crane, but he had to work all night, until the sun rises in the east. The work was rotated by 3 people, Pan Linhai and his colleagues.

Pan Linhai today working with a small mistake, after work, he must first accept the leadership of the entrance to the site office.

Today, Pan Linhai's foreign girlfriend came to Changsha, unable to pick her up at the bus station because she was on duty. She started calling her girlfriend from high altitude and apologized.

In the evening, Pan Linhai, who had been busy in the sky for a whole day, went back to his dormitory and opened his computer and chatted with his relatives and friends. At this moment, his mind and body were fully relaxed. In order to ensure the progress of the construction, Pan Linhai has not been home for 1 years, sometimes he will look at the direction of the family in the high altitude, think about the parents of the hometown.

Standing on 136 meters high tower crane platform, panoramic view of the whole city, this is the daily work of Pan Linhai. However, he has no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, with the construction progress of the building speed up, Pan Linhai's work is also increasing day by day, responsibility and loneliness is increasing day by day.

Everyone has the right to choose his own job. Since he has chosen to become a tower crane driver, he must know the importance of solitude and responsibility. Do your job, believe that at the moment when the building was built, the excitement and pride of the workers involved in the building must not be expressed in words.
