The Challenge:
The now-famous 12-mile final journey of Space Shuttle Endeavour, from LAX Airport to California Science Center.
Insight:
2,400 man hours. 400 TMI personnel. For a job of this scale, the extensive training received by TMI employees contributes to the company’s high level of expertise.
Solution:
More than five weeks of planning. Continual changes and last-minute decision-making between TMI and 15 agencies and companies. Endeavour’s route was meticulously measured by TMI, and each move was carefully choreographed, diverting traffic through the shuttle’s Los Angeles journey. In multiple locations, there were only inches of clearance for the shuttle’s wide wings, meaning many street light standards and traffic signals were temporarily removed as the shuttle passed through. TMI was always ready and able.
