This beam installation is the first of three similar operations that will take place during the course of the project. The beams, which are more than 100m long, are transported to the site by pontoons on the water. Floating cranes place the prestressed beams alongside the bridge, ensuring they follow the exact shape of the 327m-long bridge.

Arup and its joint venture partner RHDHV have worked on this project over the past five years as technical manager, site engineer, project and contract manager and managing contractor. The contractor is KWS Infra/Mercon/Hollandia.
