Linden Comansa Cranes at Jordan Airport
Three 21 LC 400 Flat-Top cranes from Linden Comansa are currently working on the extension of the Amman’s International Airport in Jordan, known as Queen Alia International Airport. With a $640 million budget, it’s one of the country’s vital projects and will increase the airports capacity from the current 3 million passengers per year, to 7 million when the phase under construction is completed in 2012.
This ambitious extension has been designed by Foster & Partners (Norman Foster’s prestigious studio), designers of many prominent buildings, such as the restoration of Germany’s Reichstag in Berlin, the new Wembley Stadium in London, and top international airports such as Hong Kong and Beijing.
The Construction company J&P (O) Ltd (Joannou & Paraskevaides (Overseas) Limited), one of the strongest Building and Civil Engineering Contractors in the Middle East, is currently executing the works and three Linden Comansa Flat-Top cranes on rails are engaged for this particular project. The cranes are model 21 LC 400 with maximum load capacity of 18 tonnes and a jib length of 80m. The cranes have been erected at various heights ranging from 45 meters to 65.5 meters and on rails in order to work at various areas of the jobsite.
