Due to a planned DOT bridge installation, we needed to temporarily re-route an existing 138kV transmission line.   Since it is a temp installation, we went the cheap way - 60' sticks welded together. Half inch thick, 24" diameter and 120' high. Demag 395 handled the lift. It is about the largest hydraulic we have up here...   Big chunk of steel - about 15,000 lbs I believe... The other install was bit trickier - we had to go across the highway.

In case you ever need it, the pipe weight formula is: Wt/Ft = 10.69*(OD - Wall Thickness)*Wall Thickness So that pipe weighs 125.607 lbs/ft. So yes, 120' of it weighs a little more than 15,000 lbs  Cool pictures. Would have liked to see that weld.
The beatings will continue until Morale improves......
