NAI Team Kept Very Busy with Three Multiple Crane Orders from Willbros Group, Inc.

January 2006

North American Industries (NAI) recently designed and manufactured seven bridge cranes and several jib cranes for Willbros Group Inc. Customization and beneficial features that NAI provided for Willbros included an explosion proof crane, a manual crane, several free standing runways, and cranes with the durability to withstand outdoor conditions in Nigeria.

Willbros Group is a design and build firm that specializes in improving infrastructure in developing countries. The company undertakes many projects in the oil, gas, and power businesses. Involvement in the oil industry in Nigeria and major pipeline systems are among their many projects. The handling of large diameter steel pipe was the task for which Willbros required several overhead cranes.
