PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Colville Delta (CD-5) Bridge Project
In winter 2013, STG sent several cranes and
pieces of pile driving equipment to Alaska’s
North Slope to assist in the construction
of a bridge through the Colville Delta
(CD-5). In all, STG deployed five cranes,
two vibratory hammers, and one impact
hammer to ConocoPhillips’ general
contractor.
Before the cranes and pile driving
equipment were sent up north, STG
ensured that all machinery was properly
weatherized to withstand the arctic
conditions.
This meant removing and upgrading all
hoses and fluids to meet a temperature
rating of -70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hydraulics, engines, oil tanks, radiators,
and crane cabs were all retrofitted with
some combination of heater coils, heater
pads, circulating pumps, or blankets to
help maintain operation in the arctic
temperatures.
Boom lights were also added to each crane
for improved visibility.
