Synchronously Lowering an 80 ton Yacht
A multi-million dollar luxury sailing yacht was jacked-up two meters to perform renovations. After the retrofit, the yacht needed to be lowered in order to be transported back to the water. Although the yacht was built of carbon fiber, it still weighed 80 tons. And the weight was not evenly distributed; the back was heavier than the front. The uneven distribution of weight posed a serious challenge to safely lowering the yacht.

EVO Synchronous Lifting System lifts a 200 tonne wheel loader safely and efficiently despite uneven ground
Lifting heavy machinery such as haul trucks and wheel loaders can be a challenging task without the right system in place. The process of assembling and transporting an over-dimension vehicle requires several steps, some of which may involve locating and positioning the lifting equipment at the appropriate lift points, removing the wheels, attaching wheel stands, and lowering the vehicle to the ground followed by removing the lifting equipment. Thereafter, a multi-wheel trailer would be placed under the vehicle and the wheel stands removed before it is ready for transportation. Using short stroke cylinders without synchronous lifting would be time-consuming, cumbersome and could introduce additional risk if the load is lifted at different heights.

Controlled Tightening on Dump Truck Suspension Struts
The maintenance team needed to replace the suspension strut bolts on 777F, 785D, 789D and 793F dump trucks. Due to the confined location of the suspension struts there was limited space for accessing the bolts. Existing methods of using flogging spanners often took several hours to replace the nuts, caused minor injuries to hands and the torque was not accurate.

Hydraulic Jacking System Assists Construction of the Honolulu Rail Transit System
In 2012, the Honolulu Rail Transit Project began the construction of a 20-mile elevated rail line. The rail system seeks to alleviate significant traffic issues affecting Hawaii’s most congested city. Kiewit was tasked with the design and construction of the elevated rail guideway. In order to accelerate the construction timeline and maintain a high-level of quality, Kiewit selected a segmental precast span-by-span construction technique to complete the project.

Jack and Roll System Pulls the Fort Lyon Bridge into Position
Minimizing the amount of time state highway 266 was shut off to traffic was a primary objective during the reconstruction of the bridge over Fort Lyon Canal. Utilizing an innovative Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) method Kiewit, Jacobs Engineering and the Colorado Department of Transportation developed a plan to build the replacement bridge adjacent to the existing bridge.
