A tower crane working on the new town hall in Herzogenaurach on the North West side of Nuremburg, in Bavaria, Germany dropped a bundle of rebar steel weighing close to a tonne, onto a shop adjacent to the site yesterday.
The bundle is removed
Thankfully the building, which houses a home and a fashion shop, was unoccupied at the time and as a result no one was hurt in the incident. , It is not clear what caused the crane, a Wolff 6031 Clear, owned by Meyer, to drop its load. The building permission for the project, which is being managed by the main contractor GS Schenk, clearly stipulates that the two cranes working on site are not to lift any loads over the neighbouring homes or business premises.
