Vesper Condominiums (Austin,Tx.) This was a different project than what is the norm for my team and I. David Silva, Marc Valdez, and myself set this heavy main entryway in three days. As you can see, this was difficult due to overhead clearance and close excavations in progress. 5k lull barely fit here with this huge material on the forks. Very critical situation to have to work in without damaging existing work. Did we do it without incident? Of course we did, were professionals!! ●Smooth clean welds completely rounded out (added a bit of body filler for imperfections afterward) ●High-Grade quality installations that are above industry standards!! ●That's what you're supposed to get when you order the best, and we deliver the best ornamental guaranteed!! #ornamentalteamalldayeveryday  #ornamentalmetals #metalfinishing  #ornamental #ateam #tigwelding #Houstonornamental #Houstonwelders #highqualityinstallation #highqualityornamental #luxuriousrailing #eliteornamentalinstallers #welding #tig #steelerectors #welders #polishing #metalinstallation #professionalinstallation #custominstallers #builtinthefield #highqualityinstallation #ornamentalentryway #Irondoors #ironentryway

Wire rope comes in, and it goes out. What's the difference in the top and bottom reels? Trick question. The bottom reels are the same reels and wire rope as the top with some particular differences. These ropes are for a set of overhead cranes and accuracy is crucial. The wire rope was floor-measured for accuracy, a socket was swaged on one end, while the other end was annealed. When you need specific wire rope assemblies fabricated, make sure that you rely on the experts!

Pigeonhole and Tripod Stands are simple, lightweight solutions for rigging through a hole in structural concrete or a grated steel deck that can support a 5000 lb ultimate load. The Pigeonhole Stand (Part# 920134) provides a rigging point for a single suspension cable or vertical lifeline. The Tripod Stand (Part# 920154D) provides either a single rigging point for a vertical lifeline or two rigging points for both the primary and secondary suspension cables. Both stands have a rated load capacity of 1500 lb (including a 4:1 safety factor). Tiebacks are not mandatory but can be installed if required.

Shoring or Benching? This project had both. There are many factors to consider when planning your trenching methodology. Some are not given the consideration they deserve. Shoring: - Aluminium or Steel? - Lifting or dragging? - Machinery size? - Plant operator experience? - Worker retrieval? (davit etc) Benching: - Ground conditions? - Access in and out? - Machinery reach for bedding and laying? - Reinstatement footprint? - Room to excavate? Get in touch with Colltrac to discuss your options and come up with a plan that is specific for your needs. chris.collins@colltrac.com

Cable Laid Grommets: The Flexible Lifting Choice Highly maneuverable for demanding jobs, cable laid wire rope grommets offer a reliable lifting solution. These endless slings, formed from multiple wire ropes wrapped around a core, excel in flexibility. This makes them ideal for situations where maneuverability is crucial, like navigating around obstacles or uneven loads. Key Benefits: Superior Flexibility: Bends easily without kinking, allowing for smooth lifting and positioning. High Strength: Cable laid construction offers excellent weight capacity for demanding applications. Durable Design: Resistant to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance. Easy Handling: Flexible nature makes them simpler to maneuver during lifting operations. Applications: Construction: Lifting pipes, beams, and other building materials. Manufacturing: Maneuvering machinery and heavy equipment. Marine: Securing cargo and equipment on ships and docks. Mining: Lifting and lowering materials in confined spaces. Remember: Choose a grommet with a working load limit (WLL) exceeding your intended load weight. Inspect the grommet for wear or damage before each use to ensure safety. Cable laid wire rope grommets offer a versatile and dependable solution for your lifting needs. #CableLaidGrommet #EndlessSling #FlexibleLifting #LiftingSolutions #Maneuverability #HighStrength #Durable #Construction #Manufacturing #Marine #Mining #SafetyFirst

A trolley system needed to be installed to facilitate the construction of the new Sacramento Courthouse in Sacramento, California. However, this trolley needed to be attached to the structure's old, pre-existing steel beams, which had been coated with a fireproofing substance. Because of the fireproofing foam, which partially needed to be scraped away, and the beams' age, welding or drilling was deemed impractical to mount the trolley. Additionally, the height of the trolley meant any kind of welding, drilling, or even just through-bolting would be difficult to coordinate and dangerous to attempt. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: After much of the fireproofing was scraped away from the old steel beams, LNA provided Type BB BeamClamps, allowing the trolley to be installed quickly and in a non-destructive way, eliminating the need for welding. Specifically, Type BB BeamClamps are designed to attach steel sections with flat flanges, something the steel beams of the courthouse had, meaning the clamps could accommodate the pre-existing components of the structure they were designed to connect.

Tip Tuesday: When erecting shoring towers, ensure you use shoring coupling pins, not scaffolding coupling pins. https://lnkd.in/ghYeUax5 #construction #scaffold #scaffolding
