Lampson International was hired to lift a completed rebar cage at the Kennecott Utah Mine using the Transi-Lift LTL-1100 crane. The project required rapid deployment, including loading, shipping, and assembly of a CK-1000 lift crane, Manitowoc 14000 crane, and the Transi-Lift LTL-1100, all ready for lifting within 20 days.
Engineering for the lift was provided by Lampson’s Engineering department, led by Projects Manager Randy Stemp and engineer Michael Zerba, PE. Existing Lampson rigging inventory was utilized, resulting in significant cost savings. Precise center-of-gravity calculations ensured safe and accurate lifts. The operation was managed on-site by Project Superintendent Iron Worker Mike Evanson and his experienced crew, with safety oversight by Lampson Safety Director Bruce Stemp.
The team successfully lifted and positioned the 400-ton rebar cage flawlessly. Logistic support included coordination from Lampson locations in Denver, Pasco, Canada, Georgia, and on-site, ensuring steel crane mats and other materials were staged efficiently. The project was completed on time, on budget, and with zero safety incidents.
