Deck and Bearing Repairs
As part of a broader highway maintenance program, Freyssinet Chile was also tasked with repairing the deck. A three foot strip of the remaining slab was cut away, and lifting points were created to attach chains for removal. The team also chose to replace the beam’s bearings to prevent future issues stemming from the impact.
A mobile crane was used to lift the damaged beam off its supports and place it roadside. The same crane then installed the new precast, prestressed beam into position.
