Spider, a division of SafeWorks, LLC, provided suspended access solutions for sheet metal installation during the construction of The Overton, the new 26-story residential condominium in Portland,Oregon.

Providing a Quick Solution
When faced with the task of installing extremely delicate sheet metal within the general contractor’s aggressive timeline, the customer, McKinstry, turned to Spider for an access solution. Spider provided four23-ft swing stages with a corner return powered by SC1500 traction hoists. The platforms were equipped with 16-ft counter-balanced beams that enabled them to traverse over the 3-ft return of the building without adding the obstacle of an additional hoist.

Excellent Customer Service
Spider’s expert rigging team installed all swing stages from the eighth floor in just two days and provided on-site user and safety training to the crew, enabling McKinstry to complete their work safely, efficiently, and aggressively without interfering with other simultaneous finishing work. 

Spider’s phase of this construction project began in August2015 and is expected to be completed by March 2016.
