Complicated transfers

The transfer of these imposing structures of solid wood from one side of the castle to the other required the intervention of cranes. It took the utmost concentration of the field workers to be able to carry out this delicate maneuver.

 

The crane operator had no visibility on the inner courtyard of the castle where it was necessary to place certain pieces, he had to rely on communication by walkie talkie with the construction site boss to follow procedure. The margin of maneuver was not more than 5 cm, attention and concentration at all times was necessary to carry out this operation.
