60 Ton Mobile Crane Installing Douglas Coupland’s ‘Golden Tree’

We at Phoenix were proud to be a part of the installation of a massive piece of public art, the ‘Golden Tree’. This life size replica of the famous Stanley Park Hollow Tree was created by local artist Douglas Coupland and is on display at the Marine Drive Canada Line Station.

Standing 43 feet tall and made out of steel-reinforced resin and fiberglass and encased in a gold finish, the piece took more than 6,000 hours to fabricate and two days for the crew, including our crane operator to install.
