When Ian McPherson looks over the completed project, he thanks his team and the new Volvo EC210C excavator (Circle 906) for taking on some serious lifting. McPherson and his McPherson-Andrews Contracting Ltd. crew had to widen a single-lane road to a two-lane road flanked by new pedestrian sidewalks. During construction, traffic needed to pass without closing the road. They also had to install a concrete precast retaining wall below the road bridge to support the structure. The wall and supports were to be in an area that was steep, treacherous and hard to access. In addition, it was important not to disturb any of the adjacent properties when removing natural obstacles, excavating or moving materials.
