Hi

First post. Exploring the idea of a pre cast, 10m high pre cast column 1x1m the column is coupled at the base and will require a stitch pour. Any suggestions or previous methodology of similar works for installation?
Would require a method of supporting the column in a temporary state with the shortest amount of crane hook time and ease for sure workers. Please let me know if you require more information

What does the column support? Axial load? Lateral loads? Where does the 52 tons come from? My math says a concrete column that size only weighs about half that much.
