• Start at the top.
  Clamp to beam. Clamps available for various bridge designs. Rolling clamps are optional.
• Add hanger assembly.
  Components include your choice of vertical stems 6, 8, 10 and 12 feet long.
• Add working platform deck and safety rails.
  You can either encircle the pier column with two-point suspension using aluminum stages or plywood working decks or you can straddle pier caps at two points to provide your crew access on both sides and ends of the pier.
