22 Field Operations Field Surveys LIDAR survey was taken before and after on 5 long span structures. Calculated LL deflections from vehicle were up to 6” Survey showed before and after elevations of the bridge deck surface and the bottoms of the girders were within the tolerance of the method used. Any post move deflection was undetectable from a survey perspective.

23 Field Operations Structure 10720, Lee County Originally designated to be ‘jumped’ Field review of route raised concerns about limited hospital access for an extended period. Detour length = 50 miles. Hauler’s consultants recommended removing a 20 kip counterweight from each of the tractors. Tractors effectiveness was limited due to traction loss.
24
24 Field Operations Structure 24362, Norton Rated by private consultant. Substructure controlled at pier due to uneven span arrangement Travel restrictions were issued. During transport, hydraulic line broke while crossing the structure. Lead tractor was over critical pier. After line replacement, vehicle initiated movement from rear tractor, which was not on bridge.

25 Field Operations Structure 22454, Norton Simple Span Plate Girder with partial depth welded diaphragms First diaphragm on girder 4 cracked at the base. Retrofitted by drilling, arrested by next inspection cycle.
