BURT crane and rigging jobs in 2002:

Three Cranes, No Waiting

Three Cranes, No WaitingWe use our 80 ton and 175 ton Krupps on one side and our 150 ton Liebherr on the other side to erect the 40 ton, 175 foot long girders for the new NY Route 85 Bridge over the Normanskill. Dealing with severe traffic restrictions and heavy lifts at long radii, we spliced the girders with the Krupps and transferred the girder end to our launching device mounted on the first two girders that we erected picking off the detour.  We then used ourThree Cranes, No Waiting Krupp 175 with the Liebherr pulling the launcher with a cable directed through a snatch block, to roll the girder across the span until the end was within reach of the Liebherr. The 175 and the 150 then set the remaining girders in place.

 

Recreating the Past

Recreating the PastAs part of replacing the bridges at the Rhinbeck, NY, Amtrak Station, we were called upon to erect the new steel for the pedestrian bridge that was designed to look just like the original bridge, right down to using round headed bolts to replicate the original rivets.
