Distribution.    To execute a bridge restoration job, we configure hoists and platforms to work spans with numerous obstructions, limited power availability and extreme project conditions.  We develop custom adjustable rigging solutions, plan for debris accumulation, perform specialized training for the crew, and manage equipment moves around vehicle and shipping lane traffic - all in typically remote locations with high winds and under tremendous schedule pressure to re-open the traffic lanes.   <br> <br> This first phase of renovation of the Angostura Bridge called for sandblasting with a heavier media than commonly used stateside.  Spider s innovative grated platform decks prevented this debris from accumulating and overloading the swingstage platform.  VHICOH s project plan called for mobile suspension points, which Spider augmented with specially-engineered outrigger beams to ensure safe rigging.        <br> <br>  Spider s Orlando team literally went the extra mile to provide a customer in need with a safe, reliable, successful solution to their project challenges, adds Sotiroff.   Whether working over land or water, whether in North America or overseas, Spider remains the go-to powered access expert& just what you d expect from the market leader. </p> </p></FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <A href="about.html" onMouseOver="changeImages('SPIDER_13', 'images/SPIDER_13-over.gif');
