The construction team was limited to a 10-minute window to lift and connect the cantilevered truss section to the column, which was an extremely tight timeframe.\u00a0 The installation methodology underwent numerous reviews and refinements to ensure the team was able to lift, install and tension a minimum quantity of bolts such that the structures were deemed structurally safe to allow traffic lanes to re-open as soon as possible whilst the balance of work was completed.<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>Outcome<\/strong><\/h4><p>The steel fabrication project was completed on time and budget, which was critical to the success of the overall project timeline.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50
