Spider Delivers on Rigging Commitments for Sign Replacement Project

October 7, 2005

Seattle, WA - Spider, a division of SafeWorks, LLC, recently supplied various suspended access rental equipment and rigging services to enable the replacement of the exterior signage on all four sides of the One California Building in San Francisco.

Two 40' stages and several Zmac hoists were rigged by Spider professionals under unique circumstances. All rigging moves were required to be completed during the day under tight time and safety constraints to enable the contractor to perform the replacement of the existing 'Airtouch' signs with the new 'US Bank' signs under lights at night. Their production was solely based on Spider's ability to meet its rigging commitments safely with minimum impact on the tenants of the functioning building in San Francisco's downtown financial district.

In addition, Spider also coordinated a supported scaffold contractor to provide access behind the challenging tall parapets of the structure and a sidewalk protection bridge.

Art Navarro, Vice President of Sales with Sign-Tech, stated, "This has been a long and challenging project, but Spider has been great in assisting with the installation of the only true high-rise signage in San Francisco."

The entire project is expected to be completed in October, 2005.
