Scope of Work
Our work began with the replacement and inspection of the bridge’s anchorage caps, conducting fillet welding, and microcrystalline wax injection to the lower guide pipes. During the ten-month project, we also applied elastomeric cable wrapping to all 96 cables to ensure their longevity.
Freyssinet replaced all the upper neoprene boots (192 total) and performed bearing resetting & PT inspection/vacuum grouting, further enhancing the bridge’s structural integrity and safety for all commuters.
Key Success Factors of the La Plata River Bridge Project
Faced with an approaching election season in Puerto Rico and at the client’s request, Freyssinet successfully expedited the project schedule by increasing manpower and implementing overtime, including weekend work.
Additionally, Freyssinet effectively leveraged its international presence by collaborating closely with its business units in Spain (Freyssinet España) and Mexico (Freyssinet de México) to ensure the project’s timely completion. With operations in over 60 countries and involvement in 10,000 projects annually, Freyssinet consistently utilizes its global network to provide comprehensive, full-service solutions whenever needed.
