New Bridges Zeebrugge

Project Details:

Works Description:

We received the assignment for the transportation of the two Bridges from Victor Buyck Steel Constructions. The assignment entailed transpor ting the bridge from the quay in Gent to the pre assembly site in Zeebrugge. After the assembling of the complete bridge we have installed them on the final position with a sheerlegs. Our responsibility consisted of transporting and the installation of the bridges on site. We executed the transportation with own push boats and tugs and with 40 axles lines SPMTs. Because we had to pass lower existing bridges on the canal, we had to jack down the bridge with 4x 600t jacks. Upon arrival on site we discharged the bridges on shore by means of Ro -Ro and placed them on temporary abutments from the client. Phase two consist of shore transport to quayside with SPMT’s and lift with the MATADOR III.
