JOB ASSESSMENT

It is important to fully understand what the job will involve. Working with customers and engineers during the bidding process so there will be no (or at least fewer surprises) when the job starts.

  • Evaluate the scope of the work.
  • Should the lift be done by pushing up the load or pulling up a load.
  • Will the lift be done all at once or 1” at a time?

DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

Understanding the scope of the job we will work with your engineers to guide in the design and the engineer the job for the best possible outcome.

  • Understanding regulatory issues.
  • Designing systems to reduce down time on the bridge.
  • Using manufacturers standard products as well as designing and engineering special products for a job.
