Bullet-proof truss moved in over pipeline


Olympic Pipe Line Company crewmembers guide an 85-foot steel truss onto the pipeline that crosses Whatcom Creek on May 25. The truss had to be lowered within a 1-inch window. “I asked the crane operator if it felt like she was doing surgery rather than operating a crane,” said Pamela Brady, Olympic Pipe Line Company media contact, “and she said, ‘absolutely, yes. It was very precise.’”
The truss will protect the pipeline from falling trees and bullets. Since May 3, crews have assembled the structure and drilled pillings to support it. Read the full story here.
