Boeing - 777 Paint Hanger
Location:
Everett, Washington
Description:
The client was building a new paint hangar which required 550,000# trusses to be set from a 20' deep basement. Sicklesteel designed a proposal utilizing large cranes which would lift the main truss then convert to lifting jack trusses and assembling the next truss without configuration changes. Then, Sicklesteel provided in-depth layout designs and achieved manufacturer's approval to utilize a DEMAG TC3200 (625 ton) to lift the main truss with its main boom while having the luffing jib attached. This approval eliminated any configuration conversion downtime and was a key for this project to be completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
