Kobelco crawler crane takes on pile-driving work in Napa Valley
The Napa River Dry Bypass is just one portion of a unique diversion project enhancing downtown Napa, Calif. Rather than trying to divert the Napa River during flood season, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has designed a “Dry Bypass” area to spill the floodwaters during flood season, and create an open, park-like area for the remainder of the year. A barge-mounted Kobelco CK-1000, provided by West Coast Contractors (WCC), is the project’s workhorse.
