Sterling Crane USA recently completed another infrastructure project, providing the heavy lifting expertise needed to safely and efficiently set concrete bridge beams into place.

The project required lifting and positioning multiple beams with absolute precision to form the foundation for the new bridge deck. Using one crane and a skilled rigging and operating team, Sterling Crane USA completed the lifts on schedule, helping the client stay on track with a demanding construction timeline.

Working in the humid conditions of southern Texas added another layer of complexity to the job. With the region’s growing population and increasing transportation needs, projects like this are critical for supporting safer, more efficient roadways that keep communities and commerce connected.

Texas continues to see rapid growth across its cities and rural areas, putting added pressure on existing roads and transportation networks. Investing in modern infrastructure ensures smoother travel for residents, strengthens supply chains, and supports economic development throughout the region. These projects play a vital role in keeping southern Texas prepared for future growth and connectivity needs.

In addition to weather challenges, the job site offered limited working space, requiring careful crane setup and strategic planning to ensure each beam could be safely staged, lifted, and set in place. Our team leveraged both expertise and precision equipment to navigate the tight quarters without compromising on safety or efficiency.

Each beam weighed several tons and required meticulous planning for staging, lifting, and placement. Our experienced operators and project managers worked closely with the construction team to ensure safety, accuracy, and efficiency throughout the entire process.
