Local items to check early
- Right-of-way: if outriggers or the swing area land in a public street, alley or sidewalk, plan for a permit and traffic control from the City of Yuma (or Yuma County outside city limits).
- Airport heights: Yuma International Airport shares runways with MCAS Yuma. Tall cranes near the airport may need an FAA notice before work starts.
- Base projects: work on MCAS Yuma or Yuma Proving Ground needs base access, usually arranged by the prime contractor.
- Ground: sandy sites and fresh fill may need mats or compacted pads for outriggers.
- Heat and wind: plan for early starts in summer, and expect possible afternoon wind holds on large flat picks.
Typical Yuma construction lifts
- Steel frames for retail, offices and metal buildings
- Steel shade structures and canopies at schools, parks and parking lots
