The opening of a new pedestrian bridge Marcent Square. Where the bridge spans over twenty meters width of the Grand Canal in Paddington in the capital, close to the Rolling Thomas Bridge.
At first glance it may seem to you like any traditional structure of a bridge, but it is divided into six sections the number of days of the week. But if you happened and I passed next to him on Friday afternoon, you will see its transformation into a wonderful shape when lifted to allow the passage of boats. This innovative design of the bridge is mainly based on the five pillars of steel and iron, which is moved by hydraulic jacks to download it and raise it like helicopter gunships.
Rising five and that weight ranges between 6 to 7 tons to different angles to create a fan-shaped where we are relying on another 40 tons to maintain the stability of these pillars in the air pillars of the bridge. Since the task of the 40 tons of hydraulic mechanism is to help to raise the bridge and lowered and reduce the energy consumed at the same time.
As for the bridge railings are machined from two rows of stainless steel rods. And it has been Pinhah process in accordance with the standards of accuracy required and that may have been the most challenging work in security The reasons had to be that there are gaps between greater than 3 mm at twenty meters packets. The bridge will be closed completely to allow the boats where to take this new form is completely decorated with white lights shining through.
