The Niagara Falls attraction the Maid of the Mist was welcomed to its new home on Thursday, October 31st 2013. The two tour boats, weighing approximately 125 tons each, needed to be lifted onto the new concrete slab that was built on the American side of the Niagara River for storage during the winter months.
Hanes Supply, Inc and Engineered Lifting Technologies received a request from a customer to work with them on a complicated lift plan with an aggressive delivery schedule. The customer wanted to lift a 59’diameter rebar mat design weighing approximately 90,000 lbs each in a single pick. The three rebar mats made of # 8 and # 14 rebar (hand tied) were designed to plug 3 different 60’diameter shafts with a 1500CY concrete tremie pour at the bottom of a 120’ deep shaft filled with water.
Hanes Supply’s wire rope and 16 Crosby 2 inch G-450 wire rope clips, to secure the tight rope cable, were used for Nik Wallenda “King of the High Wire” at the Niagara Falls casino as he practiced for his “Wallenda Walk Over The Falls” on June 15th 2012.
Hanes Supply Rigging Supporting Customers Around the Globe. An international contractor recently needed new tow cables for their support of the US Government Science Research at the North Pole. Per the attached pictures, Hanes fabricated 1 inch Wire Rope Assemblies to keep the fuel bladders, support equipment and supplies sliding along the frozen tundra of Greenland. Our rigging was delivered to the Air National Guard which flew the rigging along with other supplies to Greenland via C130 cargo planes.
Among other Equipment and Supplies, Hanes Supply has provided all of the major Rigging and Sling Equipment necessary for the ironworkers completion of the plant's construction, as well as Power and Hand Tools, Safety Equipment and many additional Construction Supplies. Hanes Supply will continue to meet the future needs of the contractors on the Boeing 787 Plant.
Hanes Supply was contacted by a customer to assist in the assessment and supply of rigging equipment to move a turbo compressor unit weighing 356,000 pounds. Upon evaluation it was found that some obstacles existed. There were two large funnels coming out of the top of the unit and a row of bayonet fittings that would be in the way of traditional rigging. The unit was manufactured with lifting lugs in place but the funnels prevented using two overhead hooks to rig the load out from the center on each end.
Hanes Supply, Inc. of Albany, was asked to advise the necessary rigging for a project to take a 38,900 lb Excavator turn it vertically and lower the unit down a 24’ diameter tunnel opening 200’ deep. The unit would be turned back to a horizontal position for excavation of rock debris at the bottom of the tunnel. We had to use all four pick points in the rear end of the Excavator to absorb the load equally. We had to meet the 70% safety factor of the rigging working load limits for MSHA standards while lowering the Excavator in tunnel.
Hanes Supply recently manufactured 52 each TPXC 10000 x 20' long High Performance Twin-Path Slings with Tell Tails and Fiber Optics. The Slings have a vertical Capacity of 100,000 pounds. The weight of each Sling is only 51 pounds each. Our team of Tim Frederick (not pictured), Ron Learn, Kevin Gruber, Gary Learn (not pictured), Dan Faulhaber and Greg Koch lead the production and testing.
Hanes Supply received a request from a general contractor to resolve a unique rigging application. We responded to the site within 24 hours that was 4-1/2 hours away from our nearest location.
7,296 Holes on the Rochester, NY Troop Howell Bridge needed to be either reamed from 13/16" or drilled to 1-1/16". The process was complicated as there were three plates of structural steel totaling 3-1/16" thick. Further complicating the process was the fact the concrete placement resulted in misalignment of the steel plates.
