Crane · 2026
North End Community Center - Piles

What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Temporary Manitowoc 12000 crawler crane supporting installation of driven steel H-pile foundations for the North End Community Center at 471 Commercial Street Boston Massachusetts. Crane will operate from the temporary pile-driving working platform at approximately Elevation 15.5 Boston City Base approximately Elevation 9 ft AMSL. Crane will be configured with approximately 120 ft of main boom. Maximum height for FAA evaluation is conservatively reported as 125 ft AGL resulting in a maximum overall elevation of approximately 134 ft AMSL. Crane will relocate within the H-pile installation area during foundation operations. Pile-driving operations are anticipated to begin September 14 2026 and continue for approximately 90 calendar days through December 12 2026. Crane operations are temporary. No permanent structure is proposed under this filing"
