Loma Linda University Health’s effort to construct a new adult hospital and new Children’s Hospital tower has entered a new phase with the delivery of two massive construction cranes to the building site.
The cranes were delivered in late November, with 57 trucks needed for the taller north side crane, and 27 trucks to deliver the south side crane. On-site assembly took roughly a week. With the cranes’ arrival and placement, work on the new hospital site switches from excavation and seismic safety installation to the start of building the planned 16 story hospital.
