Erection Rate — Stadium Long-Span Elements
Duration and crane-days for stadium long-span elements from piece count and daily rates.
Long-span roof elements move on multi-crane picks with engineered rigging — four a day is real progress. Temporary towers and strand jacks shift the work from 'erection' to 'heavy lifting', a different trade with different math.
Formula
Note: Erection-planning estimate only. Member weights, connection capacities and tolerances for execution must come from the issued drawings, the EOR and the erection engineer — never from a generic calculator.
