The project, which began nearly two years ago, has been moving forward steadily in recent months, but there is still much to be done before the end of 2018. As we told you in an earlier article, our workers were finalizing the crossbeam and the bowtie (upper crossbeam) to be able to proceed with the final step of erecting the towerheads.<\/p>\n

The workers have now completed the bowtie and recently began mounting the cable-stayed section of the tower. The steel cable stays, which are assembled in strands, will support the bridge superstructure and distribute the load. At the west end of the bridge, the submerged pedestals, which provide the base for the bridge supports and support the segments, have almost all been installed between sections w3 and w21. The segments form the columns that support the pier caps and the superstructure.<\/p>\n

The 01 segments, located directly below the pier caps, are of particular interest since because they are prefabricated in the plant to speed up the installation process on the worksite. This is an increasingly common trend in the rebar industry because it saves so much time for onsite workers. Preassembled at the Armabec plant and transported to the site by truck, the 01 segments are poured on the temporary jetties and then installed on the piers. The inclined design represents a sizeable challenge in that construction work must be must be meticulously executed, and suitable materials be chosen in order to comply with stringent requirements.<\/p>\n

Each of these 01 segments represent about seven tonnes of steel. Twelve of the 40 segments have now been installed on the west side.<\/p>\n

At the east end, work is not quite as advanced, since there are still many segments to be installed and foundations 23, 24 and 25 still have not been built.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Champlain Bridge, work will also be done on a number of other accesses including some small overpasses and the Nuns’ Island Bridge, which will require about 1,500 tonnes of rebar. The project is advancing well because all that is left is the installation of the north and south. Superstructure.<\/p>\n

Seguimiento del Puente Champlain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

En los últimos meses, el proyecto que inició hace casi dos años ha avanzado rápidamente. Sin embargo, todavía queda mucho trabajo de aquí a finales del año 2018. Como lo mencionamos en el artículo anterior, nuestros trabajadores estaban finalizando la viga transversal y la viga transversal superior para poder emprender la última etapa de erigir los pilares principales: la parte culminante.<\/p>\n

Recientemente, los trabajadores han terminado la viga transversal superior y han comenzado a montar la sección atirantada de la torre. Los obenques son cables de acero trenzados que sirven para sostener el tablero del puente y repartir la resistencia. Del lado oeste del puente, los pedestales, la parte sumergida que forma la base de los soportes del puente y que sirve para recibir los segmentos, están prácticamente todos montados entre la sección w3 y la w21. Los segmentos forman columnas sobre las cuales se apoyan las soleras y el tablero. Los segmentos 01, situados directamente sobre las soleras, se distinguen particularmente, ya que son prefabricados en la planta a fin de acelerar el trabajo y la instalación de las piezas en la obra. Es una tendencia cada vez más común en el área de la instalación de acero de refuerzo, ya que les ahorra a los obreros mucho tiempo. Los segmentos 01 son pre-ensamblados en la fábrica Armabec y transportados a la obra en camiones; después son puestos sobre la pasarela temporal e instalados sobre los pilares. El diseño inclinado representa un gran desafío para la construcción ya que debe hacerse de manera muy meticulosa y los materiales deben ser bien adaptados y al mismo tiempo cumplir con exigencias elevadas.<\/p>\n

Cada uno de estos segmentos 01 totaliza aproximadamente siete toneladas de acero. Por el momento, se han instalado doce de los cuarenta segmentos 01 del lado oeste.<\/p>\n

El lado este, por su parte, está un poco menos avanzado; falta todavía instalar varios segmentos y todavía no se construyen los lados 23, 24 y 25.\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
