Crane by Expedition Everest

[TyGuy]

I was fooling around on the nearmap site and I notice a huge crane in the latest aerial photo near Expedition Everest. Anyone know what they are doing?

My guess is it is some support/staging area for avatarland construction.

Yea I'd say construction material that's being used for Pandora

Hard to say but the size of the crane and the location would be odd for Pandora project items that need a boom that long would make a lot more sense to unload a lot closer to where it's needed.

Yup. It's pretty far away.

But, I think the idea being floated is that they could be using that wide open area (over behind EE) just to store and/or build specific large items,
that would then be trucked over to the Pandora construction site for installation.

Couldn't help but scroll over to Avatarland ............ looks like there is plenty to do over there.

Once cranes that size are assembled they are extremely difficult to move. I doubt they would be using it for Pandora.

Having worked construction logistics on that doesn't make sense you would need 2 cranes that size one in the prep area and one at the site. Carnes that size have to be torn apart to move on a job site

A boom of that length is only used for a very high lift and to lift that high everything has to be close or they need even more counter weight n the crane

Based on looking at the activity from 2014 through 2015 I'm going to take a stab it is for rol you will notice that the path way from the back of ee down to the water shows a lot more activity

I'm not sure what they are doing, but those are the largest feathers I have ever seen. Hope the dropping are not as big.
