It's one way of stopping your neighbours putting stuff in the skip that you have hired.

It's one way of stopping your neighbours putting stuff in the skip that you have hired. Not that unusual, all the plant and materials get moved like that. Demolition was fun to watch when they craned a tractor to the roof of a building for it to work its way down floor by floor, pushing the rubble down one of the lift shafts into roll on skips. There is usually something interesting to see out of the windows when I visit sites particularly in the City of London.
Edit: Looking again the tower closet to us still has re bar sticking out the top but the shuttering which is usually jacked up floor by floor has been taken away. Years ago we were doing first fix work on a lower floor before they had completed the entire height of the building. IIRC the main contractor was aiming for a floor a week. Google's new offices in Kings Cross were fun, they had painted androids for the floor numbers on the lift shafts.

There's a "crop, skip and a big jump" joke in there. In the skip, that is. |

Nothing to worry about, think of it as a cantilevered jetty to receive deliveries from the crane, it will be well secured and have a known safe loading. |

Surely that's the entrance/exit or e-vehicle safe car park... |
