DuPont Agricultural Products | BG Tower Renovations - El Paso, IL

Today at this project a crane was brought in to pickup and place two control units into the 3^rd and 4^th floor of the DuPont BG Tower. Prior to the lift being completed the P.J. Hoerr crew met with DuPont to review the lift plan to ensure a safe and productive lift. Setting of the control unit required two cranes lifting in tandem to bring it up to the floor height. Once there the front of the control unit was placed on air skates and pulled into the building while the second crane held the control unit in place.
