Barnhart was hired to set 12 bridge girders at the intersection of highways K-96 and I-135 in Wichita, Kansas. The girders were 80' long and averaged 35,000 pounds each.
The schedule was tight because both highways had to be shut down during the work.
The girders were trucked into the site and offloaded by Barnhart’s all-terrain crane. The space for building the crane was congested, and the terrain required additional matting to ensure it was level.
The project took place in two phases, four weeks apart. Barnhart was able to set all 12 girders and complete the job one day early.
