Heavy Machinery for Speeding Up Work

There are 2 tower cranes installed at the Aeon Klebang Shopping Mall construction site recently. I believe the progress will be at faster pace with the aid of these heavy machineries. We are seeing more tower cranes appear in Ipoh nowadays, which mean there are greater scale buildings taking shape in the city. In the past, there were only high rise buildings would utilize tower crane and never a 4-storey shopping mall, even Aeon Station 18 which was constructed in 2012. By counting these two in, there are now 8 of such cranes in the city working on new landmarks.
