Engineers and construction guys... geeks too
 

I found a few film pictures of a project I was involved with in 1995? (crs is setting in)

We re decked the Willamsburg Bridge. all outer pork chops (floorbeams) were replaced, and an Orthotropic deck system was installed.

What do you do when the lifting gantry has to be moved onto the other side of one of the towers? spend a week breaking it down moving it, re-assembling it? Nope...

Get a big crane

Pick it up:

repeat 4 times...beat the clock, and get a nice incentive ;)

Nice.

sweet! on a similar topic, i just accepted a bridge job from the contractor...i am done!!! now some paperwork, and off to the next project.

Vash I think you are involved in some sort of orthotropic deck install or retofit....

I've been doing these bridge things for 30 years... the welding can get tricky between panels...

please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any probs.... free advice ;)

OBG sucks! Tower is better. ;)
