Perkins was contracted to move three (3) large industrial boilers each weighing 258,000 pounds in early spring. A feasibility and operational study (FOS) was completed to make sure the three pieces could be routed and permitted properly from Oklahoma to New York. The states along this route have very specific requirements that must be met in order to comply with all state, city, and county regulations. Not to mention, the three boilers were each 19' 6" wide, providing another challenge in finding a route that could handle the oversize weight, in addition to the extreme width.

We've all seen a bridge construction project where a crane is offloading bridge beams from trucks lined up on the side of the highway each waiting for their turn to get unloaded. However, in the construction of the Main Street Bridge over the Scioto River in downtown Columbus, OH, Perkins played a leading role by delivering its huge girders and arch sections from Wisconsin.
