Project: Improvement work on the Kotka railway section
The improvement work on the Kotka railway section included the construction of a new concrete and steel railway bridge and the replacement of railway tracks over a large area.
We manufactured a new steel bridge for the railway section, which weighed 68 tons and had a significantly improved load-bearing capacity compared to the previous bridge.
- The bridge frame was manufactured and painted at our engineering workshop
- The bridge was also equipped with a hot-dip galvanized maintenance platform
- It was fully assembled before delivery to the construction site
- At the construction site, the old riveted bridge and bearing structures were removed
- After this, the new bearing plates were welded into place and the bridge frame could be installed.
The demolition of the old bridge and the installation of the new bridge were carried out efficiently during a 24-hour traffic interruption, ensuring the smooth flow of train traffic with as little disruption as possible.
