Jack-up and installation of a bridge, Germany

ALE was contracted to jack-up and install a 560te bridge in Berlin, Germany.

Over the course of one day, the bridge was jacked from its construction position to an elevation of 4.9 metres using four climbing jacks. The jacking timbers had to be stabilised halfway due to the imposed horizontal forces. The bridge was then transported to its final position and jacked down onto its bearings.
