A lot goes on behind the curtain.. that guy is mag particle testing welds on a section cut from a sacrificial deck panel.. And if you think that beam looks curved, it is...the beams are rolled and camber is put into the beam/panel.. so when it is in place its flat with no preload...
We all love tools... bad ass table saw
This is a pic from one of the first jobs where I was a chief.. superstructure steel..
Willy B .. replacement of outer roadway floor beams and deck, demolition and replacement of existing approaches.. and a full repaint..
We had 6 Manitowoc crawlers, that big barge mounted crane... a gantry to deliver the panels.. The pic is crappy on the main span much of the outer roadway is already removed... on the nearest span you see... lead remediation is taking place prior to demo.. and the near tower is surrounded by a scaffold system.. waiting for the negative pressure containment system.. All while maintaining pedestrian, train, auto and ship traffic..
