Transporting The Space Shuttle Endeavour
Dunkel Bros. was contracted to place approximately 1,100 heavy duty steel plates for the movement of the Space Shuttle Endeavour from LAX Airport to the California Science Center. During this twelve mile journey, our objective was to protect areas of the city streets where there were underground utilities and other structures to protect as well as to cover areas of transition from street to driveway. This project required hundreds of truck loads to get all of the plates onto the different sites and to remove them again.
