On January 27, some lucky employees at the Longueuil division were on hand to watch as one of the longest caissons ever produced at the plant left the shop. Produced for the Saint Jacques overpass, it is 100 feet long and weighs about 19 tonnes.<\/p>\n

The caisson pile is a metal tube consisting of rebar rods that are bound together. Once it is buried in the ground, it is filled with concrete.<\/p>\n

The portion of the pile that remains above ground is where the bridge footing will be placed<\/p>\n

Anchored up to 26 feet deep in the ground, the pile will support the second section of the Saint-Jacques overpass, a cable-stayed construction that will be similar to the Champlain bridge.<\/p>\n

The project, which was delayed by two years for the rebuilding of a sewer main under the Décarie Expressway, began in July with the dismantling of the overpass. It should be completed by July 2018 and is a major part of the Turcot exchange megaproject. The project represents about 1,400 tonnes of steel and is notable for the size of its components.<\/p>\n

According to Marc Gautier, an experienced Detailer who has worked at AGF since 2004, this caisson pile will not be the largest or the longest in the Highway 20 project.<\/p>\n

“Some of them will be nearly 120 feet long, but because of vehicle load and size regulations, pieces longer than 110 feet cannot be transported by road and must be assembled on site,” he explained.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to follow the progress of this major project, which many AGF employees are working on

El proyecto del puente Saint-Jacques en Longueuil avanza bien<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Algunos empleados de la división de Longueuil tuvieron la suerte de asistir, el viernes 27 de enero de 2017, a la finalización de uno de los pilotes tubulares más largos que se han producido en la fábrica. El pilote, destinado al puente Saint-Jacques, mide 100 pies de largo y pesa aproximadamente 19 toneladas.<\/p>\n

Un pilote tubular es un tubo metálico compuesto de varillas de refuerzo unidas. El pilote es enterrado en el suelo para recibir el cemento.<\/p>\n

Una parte del pilote se deja al exterior del suelo para recibir la zapata del puente que soporta.<\/p>\n

Enterrado en el suelo a 26 pies de profundidad, este pilote ha sido creado para soportar el segundo eje del puente Saint-Jacques, un puente atirantado que será similar al puente Champlain.<\/p>\n

El proyecto, retrasado por dos años debido a los trabajos de restauración del alcantarillado enterrado bajo la autopista Décarie, inició el pasado julio con la demolición del puente. Debía terminar alrededor de julio de 2018 y representa una etapa importante de la extensa obra del cruce Turcot. El proyecto del puente Saint-Jacques corresponde a aproximadamente 1400 toneladas de acero y se distingue por la importancia de sus piezas.<\/p>\n

De acuerdo con Marc Gautier, proyectista detallista experimentado en AGF desde 2004, el pilote tubular no será ni el más grande, ni el más largo del proyecto que desaploma la autopista 20.<\/p>\n

“Algunos medirán hasta aproximadamente 120 pies; sin embargo, de acuerdo con el reglamento vial, las piezas que excedan 110 pies no pueden circular sobre las carreteras y deben ser ensambladas en la obra”, nos menciona Marc Gautier.<\/p>\n

Lo invitamos a seguir el avance de este importante proyecto que incluye a varios trabajadores de AGF.<\/p>\n
