Today's project will be for a ROCK CREW using specialized rigging under the direction of an experienced crew leader from The Central Texas Trail Tamers. We will be using specialized rigging including two one ton Griphoists, cable & slings for rigging a high-line for moving large rocks. Other less specialized tasks include using a wheelbarrow to bring fill material to the build site.
This will be a small crew of 5-10 persons. We will be under the direction of an experienced rigger from CTTT. For those working in proximity to the cable rigging, hardhats will be required and provided. Each crew member will have specific duties on the team.
PLEASE NOTE: FOR SAFETY REASONS, ONLY ROCK CREW TEAM MEMBERS WILL BE ALLOWED AT THE CABLE RIGGING SITE DURING RIGGING OPERATIONS.
