A 72-metre tower crane has gone up at John Hunter Hospital where construction on the campus' Innovation Precinct is underway.
The crane took two days to assemble and can load up to 12 tonnes across a 78-metre length. The assembly, which resulted in a tower that eclipses the hopsital in height, was captured on time-lapse footage this week as Hunter New England Health advised a second crane would be assembled on site in March to assist the buid.
