Number of Cranes in Seattle?

By Matt on March 2, 2009

Hi all,

Matski here.

Does anyone know of a quick way to get a count of the number of cranes operating in Seattle? Prefer a source that has historical data if possible.

Thanks,
Matt

    all cranes? or tower cranes?

    If it is Tower Cranes … the city should be able to give you that information as they are all permited and inspected …

    Structures over 200 feet in height (or less than that if closer to airport) require FAA Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. FAA staff should be able to assist…

    CFR Title 14 Part 77.13 states that any person/organization who intends to sponsor any of the following construction or alterations must notify the Administrator of the FAA:

    any construction or alteration exceeding 200 ft above ground level
    any construction or alteration:
    within 20,000 ft of a public use or military airport which exceeds a 100:1 surface from any point on the runway of each airport with at least one runway more than 3,200 ft
    within 10,000 ft of a public use or military airport which exceeds a 50:1 surface from any point on the runway of each airport with its longest runway no more than 3,200 ft
    within 5,000 ft of a public use heliport which exceeds a 25:1 surface
