100T crane barge working for bridge building
Crane Barge in River for Engineering Construction
Since ancient times, the transportation of a country or region has been the foundation of its development. Bridges, as a part of transportation, are also extremely important. The Republic of Uruguay, located in the southeast of South America, is a country close to rivers. Bridge construction is a top priority, and the transportation and lifting of water materials have become a major problem in bridge construction.
How to easily transport the required construction materials while ensuring safety? Cranes are used to lift construction materials, but the working range of cranes is very limited. When the middle section of the water-based aerial bridge is built, the crane is unable to do its job due to the limited working range. The use of ships for transportation is difficult due to strong winds and waves, the heavy weight of materials, and the inability to ensure safety.
In order to solve this problem, the Uruguayan CHEDIACK company came to China in 2021 to find engineering ships suitable for assisting the construction of water bridges. After many investigations, the split assembly structure solution formulated by HID Shipyard stood out. In view of the above problems in the construction of water bridges, the technicians decided to use a water platform with high stability and sufficient load to carry the crane to assist in the construction of water bridges. The entire platform is welded with CCS marine steel plates. The platform is 30M long, 20M wide, and 2M high. The maximum load capacity is 300 tons, the maximum lifting weight is 100 tons, and it is equipped with two 16 manganese positioning piles. The hull has a high wind and wave resistance level and strong working stability. It is equipped with emergency pumps, fire extinguishers, life jackets and other safety facilities.
After March of ingenuity, manufacturing, and technical upgrades, the water platform was completed with high quality in August 2021 and successfully shipped to Uruguay. At the same time as the shipment, HID Shipyard dispatched engineers to guide the installation on site. The smooth launching of the water platform easily solved the problem of difficulty in transporting materials and increased the efficiency of the Uruguay River bridge construction by 30%. Therefore, Haohai Company's water crane platform was highly praised by CHEDIACK. The smooth use of the HID crane barge has become a bold and colorful stroke to open a new chapter in water construction!
