AAC Relies on Lampson Millennium 4100 for Marine and Heavy Civil Projects
Advanced American Construction Inc. (AAC) is a full-service general contractor that provides heavy civil/marine, industrial, diving, underwater marine survey, demolition and engineering services.
Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, it serves public and private clients throughout the western United States, with particular focus on the Columbia, Snake and Willamette River System.
Kyle Izatt is the company’s senior vice president.
According to Izatt, the Manitowoc 4100W has been AAC’s flagship crane for decades.
He says that the versatile 4100W’s ability to dredge, drive pile, and make heavy lifts has always given AAC a competitive advantage on and off the water.
“AAC has worked successfully with Lampson ever since our company was founded in 1983,” said Izatt. “We knew they put a lot of experience and engineering into the Millennium conversion, and we were very excited to commission serial number 003 as a Lampson Millennium 4100 with Series-3 RINGER.”
“When our trusted friends at Lampson introduced the Millennium platform in 2014, the timing and benefits were perfect for us,” he said. “The ability to have the technology, features and hydraulics of a new crane while maintaining the robust 4100 platform has been a great advantage over the past decade.”
AAC mounted its Millennium 4100 and 36-foot-diameter RINGER attachment aboard a 284-foot x 78-foot x 18-foot flat-deck barge to handle a variety of projects.
“AAC performs infrastructure work for a wide variety of public and private clients,” said Izatt, “and our customers appreciate that we use the reliable, proven Lampson Millennium crane on their projects.”
