Positioning Structural Steel for the Roof of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium
In 2014, the Atlanta Falcons broke ground on a $1.4 billion new stadium in downtown Atlanta. Set to complete in 2017, the 30-story structure will contain roughly 20,000 tons of structural steel, a retractable roof and a 360-degree halo video board that will span five stories inside the stadium.

Box Girder Launching System on the I-95 Whittier Bridge
Constructed in 1951, the John Greenleaf Whittier Bridge is currently in the process of being replaced by a new bridge compliant with current safety standards. The high traffic bridge connects Newburyport and Amesbury via I-95 over the Merrimack River.

Transformer Lift and Weigh Saves Freight Cost
Machinery Movers needed to know the exact weight of a transformer before it was shipped from New Zealand to India. A load in excess of the port’s 110 ton maximum lifting capacity would require a special ship to be brought in which would incur significant freight costs.

Jack Up System Lifts 1,500-ton Span on Fore River Bridge
No one would call the temporary bridge that was constructed in 2002 over the Fore River between Quincy and Weymouth, Mass., a work of art. The bridge replaced a 1936 Art Deco gem when it could no longer safely carry the 32,000 cars that cross the river each weekday.

Power Plant Heaters Installed with a Telescopic Hydraulic Gantry
Leading North African international logistics company, Marine Maroc, has used its new Enerpac SL400 gantry to install high pressure heaters weighing 130 tons at the 2×693 MW Safi coal-fired power plant located close to the city of Safi in Southwest Morocco.

Installation of Tidal Turbines on the Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge Barrier
The Eastern Scheldt (Oosterscheldekering) is a series of dams and storm surge barriers protecting the Netherlands from flooding from the North Sea. Part of a renewable energy project included the installation of five tidal turbines on the storm surge barrier. Huisman Equipment was tasked with the construction of steel structure to mount the tidal turbines to the barrier. Installation of the Tidal Power Plant needed to be completed with precision and pace. Changes in the water levels and the tide required the entire installation be complete in a two hour window.

Repairing the Foundation of a Sinking Apartment Building
Underground coal extraction led to the erosion of the ground causing a nearby apartment building to tilt. The apartment's foundation needed to be lifted 61 cm in order to re-level the sinking apartment building.
Infrastructure
Offshore Highway Construction - Lifting Challenges
The offshore highway is of a multi span bridge structure located in the open sea 100m to 200m from the shoreline. Each bridge pier consists of various concrete components, one of which will be a reinforced concrete, gravity base, which is placed on the seabed.

Assembling Tower Crane Sections with a Hydraulic Torque Wrench
Numerous joints need to be bolted together during the erection and disassembly of a tower crane. The stability of the tower crane is dependent on the integrity of its bolted sections. The precise application of torque is critical to ensure the tower crane’s stability.

Lifting and Installing the Deck Sections of the Golden Horn Metro Bridge
The Golden Horn Metro Bridge is a 936 m (3,071 ft.) long cable-stayed bridge which spans the Golden Horn waterway in Istanbul, Turkey. Portions of the bridge deck rotate in order to permit large shipping vessels through the waterway. The rotating bridge deck segments were fabricated off-site and floated in on a barge.
