ABL project director Bruce Middleton said the structures arrived at the construction site “like a Mekano set” and had to be bolted together and “tensioned up” before the lift. A crew of 14, made up mostly of spotters, had to check all the connections and loading; and then watch them closely as two cranes lifted the structures. A 250-tonne crane assisted in rotation of the frames, while a 400-tonne crane took over the heavy lifting. “It’s not one of those things you want to lift without plans in place,” Middleton said. The first lift attempt on Friday was abandoned because of a loading issue, and the frames were erected on Saturday morning.

flogging luxury apartments through a new company.
Lachlan Francis’ company was to build a 16-unit apartment complex, Freshwater, on the corner of Hallenstein and York Streets.
His company, CFS Trustees Ltd, was placed in liquidation on May 4 last year at the request of out-of-pocket contractor, Amalgamated Builders Ltd.
Liquidators say the company owes 16 unsecured creditors $1,021,474.94.
Seventeen days later, Francis formed a new company, The Mont Blanc Ltd, which in January this year applied for consent for a similar-looking 23-unit complex on the same site.
Six apartments have already sold off the plans for about $2 million or above, Invest Queenstown agent Simon Green says.
