Advantage Steel & Construction General Superintendent, Michael McClafferty, received the Ironworker Employers Association of Western Pennsylvania's Jack Daley Safety Award on February 8, 2016 for excellence in safety/craftsmanship for work on the Jonathan Hulton Bridge in Oakmont, PA. The IWEA recognized Michael for maintaining a high level of safety, while overseeing over 40,000 man-hours on an extremely difficult erection project. The erection took place on land and over the Allegheny River in extremely harsh weather conditions. Michael was also instrumental in the safe execution of a strand jacking lift of over 1,000 tons. This was the first time such an endeavor was ever performed on a PennDOT bridge project.
