Yesterday, on their way from Portland to Klamath Falls, 12 Oregon Institute of Technology students and two instructors took the time to tour the Willamette River Bridge project. The students, including 11 seniors and one sophomore, wanted to gain a better understanding of how to manage a complex construction project. The discussions ranged from dealing with multiple jurisdictions, coordinating contractors, protecting environmentally sensitive areas and scheduling construction activities.
As they toured through the site some of the reactions were "Fantastic," "I didn't realize how complex it would be" to the bridge will be "a beautiful addition to the community." The students climbed to the top of the falsework to watch the pouring of box girders beams, walked across the work bridge observing multiple activities occurring in a very small area and stood on top of one of the arches discussing the projects next steps: finishing the arches and moving to the next phases.
Using cell phones and small cameras, the students captured many images for use in future discussions and summaries of the visit. At the conclusion they were excited to learn that a blog exists, so they can follow the progress from their campus in Klamath Falls.
Many of the students hope to work on very similar projects when they complete their studies.
