Two central work steps in a tight time frame
The work was carried out during precisely coordinated breaks in rail operations. Two challenging steps were completed within this tight time frame:
- Excavation of the existing auxiliary bridge
- Lifting in the second, renovated bridge section
With a weight of around 185 tons and a length of 47 meters per bridge element, maximum precision was required – from the pick-up to the millimeter-precise final position.
Well-rehearsed technology for maximum precision
Powerful and optimally coordinated equipment was used for the implementation:
- LR 11000 large crawler crane for precise lifts
- THP modular trolleys for moving the bridge sections
- Two heavy-duty tractors for controlled pulling and positioning
The THP (Trailer Heavy Platform) trailers used are modular heavy-duty platforms (low-loaders) that are specially designed for transporting extremely heavy and large-volume loads. Thanks to their flexible combination and the high number of axle lines, the weight is optimally distributed – a key requirement for the safe transportation of bridge elements of this dimension.
Experience and precision in interaction
Even if comparable assignments are part of day-to-day business, every project remains unique. Different conditions on site, tight time frames and high demands on safety and precision require perfectly coordinated interaction between planning, technology and experienced employees.
EMIL EGGER brings these factors together – for solutions that are convincing even under the most demanding conditions.
