Seattle—Both Excel Electrical Technologies and Uni-Sky Corporation hired Spider, to provide necessary access for the large, glass Coke® bottle stationed as a focal point to the anticipated New World of Coca Cola® Museum being built in Atlanta.

On the exterior of the 25-foot high Coke® bottle, Uni-Sky used Spider’s 20-foot modular platform with two Zmac/1000® hoists, one walk thru stirrup and one end stirrup for installing all the glass pieces to enclose the Coke® bottle.

The interior of the space was particularly challenging. Spider provided Excel Electrical with a powered bosun chair—a small one-man hoist unit—for the confined areas the worker had to go through to install light fixtures in the intricate steel and glass structure. Spider rigged this job and solved the tieback requirements by ultimately tying into the sub roof. Spider was extremely careful in removing the equipment since most of the specially-manufactured glass had already been installed.

“In unique jobs like the New World of Coca Cola® project, where special access and rigging requirements are critical, only superior job planning and onsite performance from the most trusted supplier is acceptable,” said John Sotiroff, Vice President, Spider Sales. “We at Spider pride ourselves on driving only this reliable experience for our customers, whether the work is a new landmark such as the New World of Coca Cola® or restoration to an existing structure.”

Although Spider’s work on the New World of Coca Cola® is finished, the anticipated completion of one of Atlanta’s newest landmarks is scheduled for May 2007. The museum is located downtown beside Atlanta’s Georgia Aquarium at Pemberton Place™.
