Real World Applications
Oujiang Bridge Wenzhou City, Zhejiang, China
To illustrate the practical application of our vertical access solutions, let’s look at the construction of the Oujiang Bridge in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang, China. This double-deck suspension bridge, spanning the Oujiang River, posed significant logistical challenges during its construction phase.
Two Alimak SC 45/30 construction hoists were deployed to overcome these hurdles, serving as the backbone of vertical transportation on the site. These hoists, with a payload capacity of 2,000 kg and capable of lifting to a height of 150 metres, navigated the 1.5-degree inclination of the pylons effortlessly. This ensured streamlined progress during the concrete slip from the construction phase.
The Oujiang Bridge, with three concrete pylons and main spans of 2 x 800 metres, demanded precision and efficiency at every stage. Our solutions were integral to the project’s success as we ensured swift transportation of personnel and materials for concrete work.
Another example of our vertical access solutions can be found in the construction project at Strömsör, Sweden. This ambitious project aims to create a vibrant residential area along the scenic banks of the Skellefteå River, featuring over 200 apartments, office space, parking facilities, and green spaces. The project is focused on being eco-friendly, with plans to save water, manage waste, and use energy wisely.
In partnership with Ramirent, our access solutions have been integral to the project’s success. The MC 650 mast climbing work platform is utilised for bricklaying and facade cladding, offering impressive height and payload capacity capabilities. It can reach lengths of up to 19.4 metres in a single mast configuration and up to 41.8 metres in a twin mast setup. Additionally, we have deployed two construction hoists to facilitate the transportation of workers and materials.
We remain committed to pioneering advancements that enhance the safety and productivity of construction sites.
