EQUIPMENT AND LABOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANUAL INSTALLATION
Labor : (See Appendix, page X-4)
AnchorSpans™ from 30’ wide to 60’ wide can be manually installed safely and efficiently by a crew of (6)
laborers using the tools recommended below. With careful planning, depending on personnel and
equipment, smaller crews can be used, especially on the narrower spans, but we suggest starting with (6)
workers and reducing crew size only as your own experience indicates that this reduction will in no way
compromise safety. It is recommended that job site crew always wear steel-toed shoes and hard-hats.
