Tower Construction Crane #2
Auburn, AL · near Auburn University Rgnl (0.1 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA sent the case back to the filer rather than issuing a determination. This is the most common non-clean outcome and usually means something has to change or be supplied before the study can finish — not that the project was refused.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"The purpose of this crane will be to aid in construction of the new air traffic control tower. This crane will have a maximum height of 147 feet and will be in the 80 ton class. Crane booms will be lowered when they are not in use. Total use of this crane will consist of a 5 day lift period sometime within 3/15/26-5/15/26. This exact lift period has yet to be determined. This crane will serve to erect the internal metal structure of the ATCT while its companion Crane #1 will serve to erect the exterior precast concrete sections of the tower."
