Abstract:  
Burlington, Ontario - American Bridge Manufacturing Company (ABM), founded in 1870, fabricates structural steel for bridges and industrial uses. With operations throughout the USA and abroad, the company recently opened a new facility on the Umpqua River in Reedsport, Oregon. ABM specializes in high man-hour per ton manufacturing, producing products for the repair and rehabilitation of steel bridges, steel grid bridge deck products, complex new bridges, and industrial structural fabrications. The company also provides CAD based steel bridge and structural steel detailing services in house and for outside customers. ABM has been operating a Wheelabrator 8 wheel roll conveyor / monorail for some time at their main plant in Caraopolis, Penn. When the company decided to build a West Coast facility, Wheelabrator salesman Kevin Poling contacted ABM about machine requirements and he stayed in touch until the project was finished. The new machine, which is almost identical to the original Wheelabrator machine in Coraopolis, Penn., was installed in the Reedsport facility. in May 2003.
