During the renovation of Kyle Field on the Texas A&M campus, a mini-crane made lifting a large sign frame possible in the narrow work area.

The project required the sign frame to be hoisted inside the completed stadium. The Maeda MC405 has a width of only 4'6", and its 6'6" height allows it to pass through the stadium gates.

Gilboa Dam helps form the backbone of New York City's water-supply infrastructure. Nestled in the Catskill Mountains 125 miles northwest of Lower Manhattan, Gilboa Dam impounds Schoharie Reservoir, a 17.6-billion-gallon basin that accounts for an average of 15 percent of the city's daily supply.

Ensuring the stability of this nearly 90-year-old dam is critical for delivering plentiful water to America's most populous city. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently completed a $400 million, full-scale reconstruction that will enable Gilboa Dam to serve the city for another 50 to 100 years.
 

Among the finishing touches was a facelift for the weathered training walls. This component of the project presented a special challenge that called for an unusual crane solution.
