My Construction Photos > Earth moving construction: Bobcat 863 skid-steer tractor with stone separating blade/bucket lifts and sifts soil to extract and separate stones. Operator is picking out and tossing away soil clumps that sifted out with stones. Dixboro Bridge, Ann Arbor, MI, 2004.
My Construction Photos > Bridge construction site: Lower half of photo is south ramp of Dixboro Bridge to cross the Huron River. Upper half is the North approach, and in the distance is the intersection of Dixboro Rd with Geddes Rd. In mid-photo are tops of concrete bridge piers with foundations in the river bottom. Dump trucks are bringing fill soil from which ramp is being built. We can see the raised truck bed of one dump truck in right center of photo. In order to dump soil, it decoupled from its tandem trailer, which waits at far right center. Ann Arbor, MI, 2002.

Dixboro Bridge over Huron River, Ann Arbor, Michigan 2005.
My Construction Photos > Asphalt construction equipment: Sakai SW800 dual drum asphalt vibratory roller/compactor compacts asphalt pavement for Geddes Road at Dixboro Road as part of Dixboro Bridge project, spanning the Huron River, Ann Arbor, MI, 2005.
My Construction Photos > Asphalt paving construction: Case 60XT skid steer tractor with front-end loader attachment transports asphalt concrete from small pile dumped earlier in the morning to the hopper of Blaw-Knox PF-400A asphalt paving machine. The paver is laying asphalt pavement on top of the gravel base to build the curved right-turn entrance to Huron High School for vehicles travelling South on Huron Parkway.  Ann Arbor, Michigan 2005.

My Construction Photos > Asphalt paving construction: Blaw-Knox PF-400A asphalt paving machine moves from left to right laying one lane of fresh asphalt concrete pavement from the asphalt concrete in its hopper. The machine is operated and controlled by the operator in the upper seat. In this case the paver is laying asphalt pavement on top of the gravel base to build the curved right-turn entrance to Huron High School for vehicles travelling South on Huron Parkway.  Ann Arbor, Michigan 2005.
My Construction Photos > Precast concrete construction, bridge constrruction: Side view of HydraSteer trailer supporting and attached to rear end of precast, prestressed bridge girder as truck and trailer back down to position bridge girder to be lifted into position on bridge piers. Trailer steering is powered by horizontal hydraulic pistons above wheels and fender on either side of trailer. Trailer steering and braking is controlled by the truck driver in the truck tractor, using control cables temporarily on top of the girder from tractor to trailer, shown here in middle of photo, dropping down to just bottom of girder above "Robinson Cartage" and continuing to the motor hanging from the trailer frame just to the right. The girder is tightly attached to trailer at several places by heavy chains fastened and tightened by come-alongs. Come-alongs are a type of lever with hook that can grab, pull, and hang on to any link of the chain, which makes the chain rigging adjustable in length and easily tightened. The photo inset is blowup of the 4 chains and come-alongs at the end of the beam.  Dixboro Bridge over Huron River, Ann Arbor, MI, 2005.
