JOB OF THE MONTH Ӏ JUNE 2023


Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift (TBHLS), an Australian heavy lift contractor and crane provider, used its Manitowoc MLC650 crawler crane with VPC-MAX to install 16 bridge beams on the Leach Highway and Welshpool Road Interchange in Western Australia. The crane's strength allowed TBHLS to complete the work from only two positions, saving time and ground preparation work. With Manitowoc’s VPC-MAX the


capacity of the 650 tonne crane increases to 700 tonnes and has the strongest load charts in its class, the manufacturer says.


AHEAD OF SCHEDULE


Thanks to the use of the crane the assembly was completed three days ahead of schedule. The project was worth A$93 million and was handled by a local joint venture formed by engineering companies BG&E, Georgiou Group, and Golder Associates. Prior to the upgrades, the


intersection was the second most dangerous and congested in Western Australia with more than 200 crashes recorded between 2015 and 2019.
