FunFact:
The original plan was to dismantle both of the giant cranes each winter, which would have been a huge afford. Instead, the crane manufacturer invented a "winter mode". That kinda is like a fully automated dance routine both cranes perform at least two times per day, to prevent ice buildup and freezing of the slew rings.
They also had to develop a new 6x6m tower system to support the freestanding height of those cranes.

The whole country of Switzerland is a gigantic monument to good planning and hard work. Everything is difficult to construct there, everything is constructed in the best possible way and works as intended.
Similar can be said about B1M - it's my favorite YT channel, not just about construction, but in general. A lot of work executed perfectly.

Exactly the same thing happened in Victoria, Australia. The concrete arch Sugarloaf Dam was completed in 1929 with the dual purpose of generating electricity and storing the spring snow thaw so it could be used for irrigation in summer. It was at the base of the mountains and not at a high altitude. But it also developed a crack and houses downstream were fitted with alarm bells in case the dam failed. In 1955 it was replaced with the much larger rock walled Eildon Dam which holds 3.4 million megalitres. But when water levels are low, the old arched dam can still be seen.
