Phillip Moore: I'm a IUOE Local 15 Operator, I worked for Kiewit in the replacing of the Harlem River Bridge. I was on various equipment and did different things for that job. I remember the last thing I did was Operate a massive Vacuum Truck with 3 vacuum boxes and a crew of six laborers who vacuumed every nook and cranny of the old "turntable" bridge. The boss told me, "This is it, tonight they're bringing in a massive crane, picking up this bridge, putting it on barges, and setting the new bridge in place, in one piece. I went in the next day to collect my last check, and the new bridge was in place. I live on Staten Island otherwise I would have returned that night to watch. It's amazing what they can do.
Manuel Garcia: Those cranes were built at kiewitt and I welded on that project.
Gary Burleigh: Best investment ever made by a contractor.
Gabe Walker: David Neathery
David Neathery: Gabe Walker yep they can do some amazing stuff out there they will set that down on a barge and take off with it.
Gabe Walker: David Neathery we use to bring stuff for them to lift.

To put it on the floaters
Rob Rundell: Sander Loomeijer my baby, spent 2 years building topsides, then 9 months at kiewett, then 9 months after the tilt. Was on the hull for that lift. Incredible the ability of the hld and the tugs to get that chunk of steel set to the inch.
