    Getting the Ball Rolling

    By juvasquez

    Today, we met with two representatives from United Rentals to begin talking about the kind of tools we'll need on the job site.

    The plan is to build our bridge in three sections in Blacksburg, transport them to Clifton Forge, and then crane them into place. In order to make this happen, we'll need a massive crane, a saw that will cut through the concrete retaining wall, and oodles of other equipment.  So, we will be working with United Rentals here to order the equipment that will help make our bridge come to life.
