How the job went.
- The job
An engineering and construction firm was putting up four 250 ft high-voltage power line poles close to an elevated highway and train tracks. Each pole went up in three sections.
- The problem
A heavy crane lifted each section into place, and the crew had to meet it at the joint, guide it in without damaging the connection points and bolt it. Work next to the tracks was time-sensitive.
- What we sent
Our A-250 on a Kenworth chassis with an experienced operator, on site by 8 am as agreed. Setup took 15 to 20 minutes, with extra cribbing for a steady base. The 12 ft basket took two technicians, the operator and all the gear.
- How it went
Our operator moved the basket with the crane, so the crew reached each joint without touching the section. 12 sections on 4 poles in three days, finished on time through heavy rain and 27 mph gusts on the last day.
