The upper part of the casing is essentially a circular work platform, in the centre of which workers are installing huge reinforcing rods measuring 6&nbsp;m in height and weighing just over 20&nbsp;tonnes. Once they are installed&mdash;a delicate step that calls for extreme precision&mdash;the&nbsp;casting box&nbsp;is raised to cast the concrete, and 120&nbsp;m<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;of cement is poured into the framework to form a new level of the pylon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mi.lapresse.ca\/screens\/e0202bab-828e-453f-8632-a6b061f8cb45__7C___0.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To read the complete article, click here.

(&hellip;) Los automovilistas que toman el viejo puente Champlain habr&aacute;n con seguridad visto dos inmensos contenedores de contrachapado que sobrepasan la torre central del nuevo puente. &ldquo;Cada contenedor es una peque&ntilde;a f&aacute;brica dividida en tres partes&rdquo;, resume Fr&eacute;d&eacute;ric Guitard, director de la secci&oacute;n atirantada para el consorcio Signature sobre el San Lorenzo. La parte superior del encofrado es esencialmente una plataforma de trabajo circular, en medio de la cual los obreros instalan inmensas estructuras de acero, de 6&nbsp;m de altura y un peso de un poco m&aacute;s de 20&nbsp;t. Una vez que estas jaulas se instalan, etapa delicada que necesita una gran precisi&oacute;n, la caja de colado se eleva para encofrar el cemento y se hace el colado en la estructura para formar un nuevo piso de la torre.
