Super T Girder Landings

Seymour Whyte/BMD

Groundlvl Media was engaged to capture the Super T girder landings for Seymour Whyte and BMD at the Aerowest project, a critical infrastructure development supporting enhanced connectivity and transport efficiency. The precision-engineered Super T girders play a vital role in bridge and elevated roadway construction, providing structural strength while enabling rapid installation to minimize traffic and project disruptions.

This milestone installation required meticulous planning, heavy lifting coordination, and real-time execution as each massive girder was lifted into place with pinpoint accuracy. The project highlights the expertise of Seymour Whyte and BMD in delivering major transport infrastructure while showcasing the power and precision involved in handling such large-scale structural components.

Groundlvl Media documented this process with aerial, ground, and time-lapse footage.

The Job

Groundlvl Media created a high-impact visual package covering the delivery, lifting, and placement of the Super T girders. The final deliverables included a cinematic project video showcasing the entire installation process, drone footage capturing the precision and scale of the girder lifts, ground-level cinematography highlighting the teamwork and coordination involved, time-lapse sequences showing the efficiency of the installation, high-resolution imagery.

The Method

Filming a live heavy-lift operation presented several challenges, including tight scheduling, safety restrictions, and unpredictable weather conditions. Capturing the sheer scale of the girders and cranes while maintaining safe filming distances required strategic positioning of cameras and drone operations. Additionally, the need for precise timing meant our team had to work seamlessly with site crews to capture each crucial stage of the installation.

The Coverage

Our approach blended cinematic storytelling with technical accuracy, ensuring that the footage not only documented the process but also emphasized the engineering expertise, teamwork, and logistical precision behind the operation. By utilizing a combination of aerial perspectives, slow-motion shots, and time-lapse sequences, we created a compelling narrative that captured both the scale and significance of the project.

The Final Result

The final video successfully showcased the engineering excellence and efficiency of Seymour Whyte and BMD in delivering this key infrastructure component at Aerowest. The content was well-received by project stakeholders and industry audiences, serving as a powerful promotional tool while highlighting the innovation and capability behind modern bridge construction.
