Reaching for the sky - cranes and modern infrastructure
Posted February 26, 2018, Length: 22:53
Cranes are prominent on the skyline of every city, serving as a measure of the pace of development. They are essential tools for infrastructure construction, a source of fascination for the sidewalk superintendent, and in some cases, a source of risk. To explore the role, functioning, and safety of large cranes in construction we talk with Greg Teslia, President, Crane Safety and Inspections, of Coral Springs, Florida.
The Infrastructure Show is sponsored by Northwestern University.
