Being in the building game I can tell that doing a straight lift with a 25 tonne crane costs around $400 an hour (or more) + dogman + crane driver, and not to mention driving to site and back again. Meaning that the lift item is on bunting and an easy lift. In this case it is not an easy lift. So make that around 1500 per hour plus labour cost and driving to site.
This would take two to three days prep time and only their team would want to prep the site. Lifting the thing with the slab is out of the question. The structure would fall apart from the weight of the slab, not to mention sorting out at the other end. The slap probably weighs 4 tonne, remember a cubic meter of concrete weighs in at 2.7 tonne. So if you got 3 cubic that is 8.1 tonne. Lifting it straight up off the pier into the air is not going to work either. That will not be possible. Something will break.
The two halves idea might work but as Rally pointed out it would get damaged and might not even be possible to transport it. Transport costs are huge and just for police escort in this State it is over $1500 for a day. Freight will set you back at least $5000 if not more.
Do yourself a favour and buy another dome and leave that one there, it will be cheaper by a factor of 3.
