A Mammoet team has installed a 550 ton pedestrian bridge over 11 rail tracks in less than five hours, according to a report in the Construction Index. Kiewit Infrastructure appointed Mammoet for the work, which is part of the revitalisation effort in downtown Colorado Springs.
Prior to Mammoet’s arrival, the 249-foot prefabricated bridge was assembled, welded together, and given a concrete walking surface. Once on site, Mammoet crews used eight 500-ton Mega Jacks to hoist the bridge close to 23 feet in the air to allow for the installation of self-propelled modular transporters for transport.
