But while it eases the work process, it may also cause dire accident, for instance, in 2015 a tower crane collapsed in Masjidil Haram, Mecca. Similar accident also happened during Double Double Track (DDT) construction in Kampung Melayu, claiming 4 workers’ lives. Consequently, tower crane operation requires great deal amount of attention on safety. PT. Pulauintan Baja Perkasa uses tower crane during construction process as a main heavy duty equipment.
