Important questions:

Is the excavator working, turning, or traveling straight? (Load distribution, lateral load requirements)
Is this new order steel, or something from your yard?
Will the supports for these beams influence the design requirements (slope, settlement, equal distribution, dynamic effects)
Is this spanning 60 feet over an irrigation ditch, or over live traffic?
