They're fixed cranes with site built foundations, which are very typical in large construction jobs. There was a thread last month showing the pictures of the foundations.

Of course they don't take that long to get one operational if really needed. You could probably have the piling done in a day, the formwork done in a few days and ready to pour and then at least 7 days for the breaks. So within 2 weeks you can have all 3 operational if you put enough man power behind but that's not what usually happens and isn't what happened on this project. They took at least a month and half, probably longer from start to finish.
