Rural and Regional Executive Director Amanda Bock said the tower crane was built over two days and it would take just one day to dismantle using a 130 tonne mobile crane, crane operator, truck drivers, riggers and traffic controllers.
The tower crane will be dismantled inside the Redevelopment site and the Faithfull Street Works Zone will be used for truck parking and loading of crane components.
"Traffic controllers and a range of safety measures will be in place on Faithfull Street for the duration of the works ensuring the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles, and delivery of the mobile crane", Ms Bock said.
To minimise disruption to residents and traffic, dedicated construction vehicle routes will be used to and from the redevelopment site. Residents and community members travelling through the area are advised to factor in additional travel time as there may be slight delays.
Cranium has been in place for 12 months and has lifted and moved over 100 tonnes of building material.
Cranium was officially named in July 2020 by Alex, from Wollondilly Public School, the winner of last year's Goulburn Hospital and Health Service Redevelopment 'Name the crane competition'.
The construction of the new Clinical Services Building is on track for completion later this year. The new building will then undergo operational commissioning and an internal fit-out period, before opening its doors to patients in 2022.
