    Under Deck Platform

    Can't scaffold up from the bottom due to the steep slope project is overhanging a cliff with no access except from the top.Thats what we thought to hang brackets from the I-beams to support planking or picks to we can access 20 to 30 feet at a time and then be able to slide it to the next bracket.

    Under Deck Platform

    We have a steel frame deck 80 feet above the ground. The W 30 beams are five foot on center and before we put the steel deck down and pour the floor we have to install all the piping on the underside of the beams.Can't use a lift underneath the deck due to the extreme slope so we have to hang...

    Driving sheet pile

    angle of tie back is 30 degrees and 60 long to hit the good material below.We drove two master piles in down to 50 feet and around 40 feet we hit good material and the hammer had to work.We are also welding the other sheets together.Next step seems to be to weld clips to the sheets and anchor...

    Grouted Tieback Anchors

    Thanks for all your replies,and yes we have poor soil conditions down to 25 feet before you get into the good sand so the 30 angle works the best to get to the good sand.Engineer of record no longer works for the design firm that supplied the bid drawings.All quotes for the anchors were based on...
