Alert Updated: March 9, 2022
Alert Expires: December 31, 2024
Situation: Starting Monday March 14, 2022, and continuing through March 15, 2022, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital will be adding the second tower crane to the construction site adjacent to Carilion Roanoke Memoria Hospital. The tower crane will be the second tower crane that will be on site for construction activities over the next several years for the Crystal Springs Tower addition to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
Background: The tower cranes will be used for construction activities at the site of the future expansion. The project site is adjacent to the South Tower of Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital which is the site of the rooftop helipad.
Assessment: The first tower crane was placed in June of 2021. The center of tower crane 1 is approximately 348.5 feet from the edge of the helipad. The jib tip radius will be 266.6 feet; therefore, the tip of the jib will be approximately 82 feet from the helipad. The height of the tower crane will be 260 feet at the tower peak or apex. This will be approximately 80 feet higher than the rooftop helipad.
The center of tower crane 2 will be approximately 247.2 feet from the helipad. The jib tip radius will be 171.1 feet; therefore, the tip of the job will be approximately 76 feet from the edge of the helipad. The height of the tower crane will be 210.9 feet at the tower peak or apex. This will be approximately 31 feet higher than the rooftop helipad. It will be set on March 14th and 15th, 2022.
When the tower cranes are not in use, they will be weathervaning (free slewing mode).
Recommendation: All aircraft utilizing the Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital rooftop helipad are asked to exercise caution on approach and departure.
