July 2012 - Making a complex lift, such as this 10-crane lift of an offshore platform deck performed at Kiewit Offshore Services, takes the most qualified operators available.
The team of ten CCO-certified operators selected for this delicate lift (which also involved walking with the load more than 300 ft.) are part of more than 65 Kiewit Offshore operators who so far have successfully met the NCCCO requirements for CCO certification.
Training for Kiewit Offshore has been provided by East Texas Crane Academy, whose president, J.R. Williams, is shown (center) flanked by Kiewit General Rigging Superintendent, Larry Schutz, and Pete Laux, Kiewit District Equipment Manager.
