Crane & rigging
West Fork Crane-Assisted Beam Set
Overview:
West Fork required steel beam placement on a commercial site with tight access and limited staging space. The work depended on careful lift planning and clear communication between the erection crew and crane operator.
Approach:
Summit Ridge Steel mapped the pick sequence before mobilizing and staged beams in the order they would be set. The crew used controlled rigging, clear signals, and measured placement to keep each lift moving safely.
Project details:
Scope: Crane-assisted beam placement
