Peoria Park District Pedestrian Bridge, Clausen Structures
Peoria Park District Pedestrian Bridge, Clausen Structures Case Study – Clausen Structures – Rent Modular Spreader Beams for Peoria Park District Pedestrian Bridge The Project Clausen Structures was challenged to perform the setting of (2) 210’ x 14’8” pedestrian bridge spans, each weighing about 160,000lbs, in Peoria, IL over Knoxville Avenue. The bridge’s final landing place was between two sets of power lines. This was a two crane pick with one 500 ton crane and one 300 ton crane. The Lifting Challenge This project created the challenge of placing these two spans between power lines, over a highway, within a 40 minute time window in the cold, snowy Midwest winter. The Lifting Solution Lifting Gear Hire provided the correct design configuration of the rigging and modular spreader beams t
