Texas Crane Makes Precise Placement of Steel Bridge Over Train Tracks a Snap

The Challenge: Place a 49-foot-long steel bridge over train tracks and onto supports with laser-like precision from a small working area in a residential neighborhood.

The steel bridge structure was delivered in two sections and welded on-site, resulting in a total weight of 77 tons, including the required slinging gear. After the load was meticulously rigged so that it would be perfectly balanced, the power to the overhead lines was turned off and the precision lifting started.
