Costing him less than I would of guessed. What you think to that lift plan @V8Druid digger and telehandler presumably tracking and driving while they've got it up.

aye fine ... it'd only need to be a few inches off the deck for the tele and the 360 could slew for most of it .. sit it and re-position ... bit of care and'd be no prob.s ...... just do it under cover of darkness or a Sunday :LOL::LOL:

What's the problem with tracking while lifting? what will those beams weigh @V8Druid ?

nowt on a firm, level surface and you're within a safe working radius .... soon as you hit a bump or a dip .. that changes .. river bed doesn't constitute a firm level surface ... I'd slew, sit it, move and slew again ...
beams look to be 914 x 305 x 224kg/m , so at 18m would be circa 4.03t each .. 2t per machine .. as long as both lifting from similar points and lift is kept level
if the 360 was good for 4t say and he'd leveled the river bed to track on, I'd track it, but difficult to match speeds of two machines .. safer to slew, etc., IMHDO, to match the speed of the tele ... better control

Hi Guys, looking at a yard, the only access is over a small burn, there is currently a bridge in place which needs replaced.
The current bridge consists of 2 steel beams spanning the burn with 20x 200mm x 100mm x 2.4m sleepers, they are past their best.
The new bridge needs to be wider, around 3.6 metres, the span over the burn is 4 metres.
How would you go about a new bridge? Any previous examples and pictures?
Did you get a bridge fitted?
I've had a customer asking about a bridge in his garden, 9m span with timber sleepers for deck. I thought a nice little foot bridge in garden to which they replied oh I need to get vehicles over it. So I'm thinking the odd car might go over but no apparently has planning for a shed and looking at getting lorries to it 😳, bit of a game changer. I think they need to rethink it but they insist just a simple burn crossing. What do people use for such a crossing?

Bailey bridge.....

In all seriousness as soon as it goes from pedestrian - traffic or becomes about 2 or more meters span it wants to be a engineer job.

so don't dig the bank ... step back in a metre or so, dig a gert hole and fill with conc ... increase the bridge span a metre or so, plus, either side and keep away from the watercourse all together ... may cost a little more, but could save a lot of buggeration :rolleyes:
I think anything within 8m is notifiable to ea last time I got a slapped wrist working on the 1 mile of the goyt river we own they stated that. But that’s a medium river.

I got a quote few years ago from beaver bridges was pretty reasonable
