A recent project along the banks of the Bear River near Preston, Idaho, showcased precision planning and expert execution as crews successfully placed a 125,000-pound water transfer pipe bridge at a 130-foot radius.
Working in a challenging riverbank environment, the lift required detailed planning, ground condition assessments, and close coordination among field crews. The combination of the 125,000-pound load and extended 130-foot radius made the operation technically demanding, requiring precise crane placement along the river’s edge to ensure stability while maintaining the necessary reach. The structure was carefully lifted and maneuvered into its final position with clear communication maintained throughout the process.
Projects like this highlight the team’s ability to execute complex lifts in environmentally sensitive and logistically constrained areas, delivering safe and efficient solutions even in demanding conditions.
