Contractor: CMC di Ravenna – South African Branch
Duration of Project: 18 months
Equipment Used: RMD Megatruss Traffic Portal supported by Megashor Towers
Benefits of Solution Provided: To fast track the construction of the Cornubia bridge deck between two freeway lanes (N2 NBC/SBC) with limited space in between (median).
Background: The Cornubia Bridge and interchange will provide a critical link between the economic growth node of Umhlanga and the emerging Cornubia Integrated Human Settlement Development and areas to the west and broader hinterland. Co-incidentally the eTM’s Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN) will also make use of the bridge over the N2 as part of its C9 routing between Bridge City and Umhlanga Ridge.
RMD Megatruss Traffic Portal and Megashor Towers provided CMC di Ravenna with an indispensable solution and flexibility to simultaneously prepare all the falsework required, especially above the freeway and where the height restriction required to be strictly observed during construction.
