// How The installation for this project relied on a crane rental of only 4 hours, which meant we had to be prepared from the moment we arrived. In that time we had to unload the various pieces and stage them for installation: 2x 12ft stainless steel faces, 4″ square tube steel frame, 2x 12ft frosted acrylic sheets, and 2x 18″ diameter custom clock faces. Most of these pieces weighted well over 300lbs and required careful collaboration with the crane operator to successfully rig and move them so as not to bend or scratch any surfaces. We managed to complete the installation in 4 hours, including working with an electrician for wiring for the LEDs and clock faces, and some partial wiring and assembly of the clock faces themselves.
