Yeah, it's about as funny as some engineer pulling on a tree with rope.

newguy18 · 23rd January 2009, 09:31 AM

one third reduction.

Therrin · 23rd January 2009, 11:02 AM

Exacting DBH and taking core samples...NICE.... phew! yuck! Must be decaying!

Levi Parkin · 26th January 2009, 05:40 AM

i just want to know if that's going to be a climbing reduction or if the engineer will be using a bucket truck? Will the contract be open for bid so some unqualified person can possibly get the contract or do they have a company in mind.....

great vid.

Eric Frei · 26th January 2009, 06:44 PM

The 1/3 reduction for safety was easy ... block 2 of the 6 lanes!

Therrin · 26th January 2009, 07:02 PM

What do you guys wanna bet that the engineer in that video was Don Ross himself??

Eric Frei · 26th January 2009, 07:14 PM

That engineer has no idea, he should have done a pull test to some tug boat in the river!

Therrin · 26th January 2009, 07:26 PM

Or maybe they should have mounted a huge concrete pylon in order to test the bridge. Hmm...which span do you tie your pull rope to...

phill ellison · 27th January 2009, 03:39 PM
