Project Highlights
- Spanning the Tacoma Narrows, this project involved the installation of a line 1.19 mile long stretched between towers 137m and 146m tall respectively.
- This project was particularly challenging as the fabrication, shipping, and assembling of the base sections were being executed prior to the design of the top section being finalized. This was necessary to meet the client’s unique demands and meet the aggressive project timeline.
- The original line across the narrows was erected in 1926 and so this project presented a unique set of challenges, which included being one of the longest crossings in the world at the time of construction and having stringent outage restrictions.
