Construction Challenges and Solutions

The video details the challenges faced during tower construction in snowy conditions. With 7 meters of snow, workers use snow cats and bulldozers to clear paths. Hans Burkard, a renowned crane operator, plays a crucial role in navigating difficult terrains to keep construction on track. At Tower 3, the team faces the challenge of lifting a 5,000 kg saddle, which tests the crane's limits. Through strategic weight adjustments and stabilization, the team successfully completes the task, highlighting the ongoing battle with nature.

What was the initial obstacle faced by the construction team?

• A broken crane

• Heavy rainfall

• 7 meters of snow

• A landslide

What method did the team use to create a stable path for the crane?

• Building a temporary bridge

• Laying down wooden planks

• Using a helicopter

• Dumping gravel onto plastic sheets

Why is Hans Burkard considered a legend in the industry?

• He can operate cranes in difficult terrains

• He designed the towers

• He invented a new type of crane

• He has the fastest construction record

What is the weight of the saddle that Hans needs to lift?

• 10,000 kg

• 7,000 kg

• 5,000 kg

• 3,000 kg

What was the main risk when Hans attempted to lift the saddle?

• The crane could tip over

• The saddle could break

• The load could swing uncontrollably

• The tower could collapse

How many times did Hans attempt to lift the saddle before succeeding?

• Once

• Twice

• Three times

• Four times

What adjustment did Hans make to stabilize the crane?

• Extended the crane arm

• Changed the crane's position

• Reduced the load weight

• Added more counterweights

What was the outcome of Hans's final attempt to lift the saddle?

• The crane malfunctioned

• The crane tipped over

• The saddle was successfully placed

• The load was too heavy to lift

What does the successful lift of the saddle signify for the team?

• The end of the project

• A temporary victory against nature

• The need for a new crane

• The completion of all towers

What ongoing challenge does the team face despite their success?

• Financial constraints

• Insufficient manpower

• Nature's unpredictable conditions

• Lack of materials
