Replace Deformed Bridge Bearings - Heavy Lifting
Location: Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, Egypt
2024
Year of completion
Replace deformed bridge bearings by lifting the concrete bridge.
Bridge Weight at each axis:
1800 Tons
Number of bearings at each axis:
8 Bearings
Added Value to the Customer:
· Follow all safety standards and requirements during the stages of the work.
· Providing full detailed load calculations and determining lifting points.
· Preparing a detailed work methodology that represents the work steps according to the bridge drawings and loads.
Engineering Concept:
Lifting the concrete bridge using a heavy-duty hydraulic jacking system to be able to replace the deformed bridge bearings with new bearings .
Fast Track Solution:
· We provided a complete study of the bridge loads and determined the lifting points.
· There were deformed bearings along the two axes of the bridge, each axis having 8 bearings that needed to be replaced.
· We began the process of lifting the axes (one axis after another) by placing each lifting jack at its own lifting point, and the lifting was carried out until we reached the required height that allowed the bearing to be removed safely. After that, a trained team removed the old bearing and replaced it with the new one.
Systems in use:
· Hydraulic Lifting Jacks.
