Reasons to use Crane services
If you are building a new home or putting on a second story, it can be difficult to get the shingles up the ladder to the roof. However, many contractors will hire a crane service to ensure that the shingles are placed nicely on top of the roof. This will save so much time for the crew and thus save money over the long run. We offer this sort of service to contractors and homeowners that are looking to redo or install a new roof.
We offer crane services as well as the installation of seawalls and other marine construction services. Call Viking Construction LLC today!
Bridge-building
Often times while building bridges and other road construction there is a need for a crane operator and equipment. However, some asphalt companies don’t actually have their own cranes. Instead, they hire the workout to ensure that everything is done properly. After all, you don’t want those large steel beams swinging in the air with an unqualified operator. Roadways also need metal divers and other things unloaded from trucks. There are many reasons for hiring a crane operator while building roads and bridges.
While some people think that it is just as easy to rent a crane and use it. You really should work with professionals. Crane services are experienced in using their crans and have professional drivers. They will offer a better overall experience than someone that doesn’t have the knowledge of cran operation. Professionals also carry insurance, in case something were to go wrong. In fact, there have been many accidents from people operating cranes when they shouldn’t be. Read More.
Cranes for Marine Construction
Cranes can also be used in the water. After all, we are a marine construction company. Because of this, we use our crane in the water a lot. Things such as dredging the channels that lead to Lake Michigan or the various inland lakes such as Gun Lake that have channel ways. These channels eventually fill with silt. This silt will need to be manually removed in order for the channels to maintain the depths needed for proper water flow. This operation is carried out by cranes that will dig the silt up from the floor and carry it out in large barges.
Many of our barges are custom-made by us. These are carried along the channel by our tug boat where they will meet up with another crane to unload or they will be lifted onto the truck for removal. This is a long process that is done in a methodical way to ensure that the dredging efforts will last. We also use a type of GPS that will allow us to see the bottom of the channels to ensure that we are getting every spot.
Our floating crane services are perfect for those looking to install an extensive docking system. Dock installation can be really cumbersome when trying to do on your own. However, with the proper equipment, it can be installed in far less time.
Our cranes are used to build sea walls and Rock Rip Rap. We go into more about Rock Rip Rap here in this article.
