Potain HDT 80 completes
Pittsburgh expansion project
A tight, urban jobsite prompted a local lifting services provider
to specify a Potain HDT 80
self-erecting tower crane for a department store conversion project in
downtown Pittsburgh, Pa. Known as the Piatt Place, this well-known
commercial site recently underwent redevelopment to transform it to a
high-end condominium and retail complex.
The HDT 80 worked for sub-contractor Century Steel Erectors and helped
add two stories to the existing five-story building. Local Potain dealer
American Contractors supplied the HDT 80 to Century Steel.
Chuck McKee, project manager at Century Steel, said a lack of space
forced the company to look at alternatives to its normal lifting
choices.
"We chose the HDT 80 because lifting work had to take place in a narrow
street. Space was very limited," he said. "But with the small outrigger
footprint, we could set up the crane and keep pedestrians moving."
Construction work took place in 30-foot x 30-foot bays. The heaviest
loads were header beams, weighing up to 4,500 pounds each. The crane
also lifted 1,500-pound infill beams and bundles of metal floor decks
weighing up to 4,500 pounds.
Another benefit that Century took advantage of was the crane's remote
control. McKee said it allowed them to save on labor costs "By using the
remote control, we were able to eliminate the radio man," he said.
Century Steel was involved in the construction of the original
department store back in 1998. The 150-foot x 150-foot square building
was initially 70 feet above street level. This has increased 35 feet
with the addition of the extra floors. Reinforcement work started in
June 2007, while the crane handled construction work during September
2007.
