Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Air Traffic Control Tower

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Air Traffic Control Tower

SSE was contracted by JB Steel, the steel fabricator, as their rigging/erection engineer. SSE assisted with the steel structure to ensure that it could be lifted in two complete assemblies, instead of being built piece-by-piece on top of the precast structure, standing 122’ tall. This structure was assembled on the ground and pieced together as part of the lifting procedure. The specialized design of cables and custom designed lifting fixture attached to the crane was part of our scope as well. Due to the weight of the two lifts, this was classified as a critical lift, requiring engineering oversight/design.
