On April 20th and 21st, 2010 J.F. White Contracting and Saugus Construction Company completed two HUGE lifts building the primary leg support structures of the north tower of the Chelsea Street Bridge in Chelsea, MA.
Each pre-assembled column section weighed 424,000 pounds (212 tons) and was 120 feet in height. The height at the top of the completed structure is 220 feet.
Lifting duties were accomplished using Hallmore's Demag CC2800 600-ton lattice crane with a Superlift configuration accompanied by their Demag 600-ton mobile crane for column tripping.
Steel erection performed by Saugus Construction with their crew assisted by Local 7 Ironworkers out of Boston, MA.

@IRONSEAN7 Thanks for the awesome comment!! Each section weighed 425,000 pounds. Saugus Construction has put up a lot of steel in Boston. Wish I knew they were behind a lot of the steel on the Big Dig, I would have shot more of it!!!

@biginchhemi In order to get that view of the ironworker on top I had to be higher than what he was, looking down on his position. I was in a man cage lifted by the Grove GMK 5275. Now that was the view!!!

@Cranedude21 Actually this crane is new to the Hallamore arsenal. It was in use for two years putting together wind turbines in Houston, TX and came directly from the factory from Germany through the port there.

great video. I have heard that these heavy lifts take months to plan. :)
