The Lessing Tunnel in Hamburg is a 110-metre-long railway underpass located north of the Hamburg-Altona railway station. Six new tunnel sections, each weighing 340 tonnes, were brought in for the renovation from a construction site 2.5 kilometres away. A great challenge for the Wagenborg Nedlift transport specialists
In October 2018, Wagenborg Nedlift carried out an impressive operation in Bocholt (Germany): transport, positioning and foundation setting of the 47-metre-long Podiumbrücke (Podium Bridge). Wagenborg Nedlift combined many different disciplines and skills to successfully and safely install this bridge from the past to the future.
The bridge deck of the bridge in Gramsbergen (Overijssel, the Netherlands) crossing the Almelo-De Haandrik canal had to be replaced due to the poor condition of the old wooden bridge deck. The new bridge deck was made of steel to guarantee a long lifespan.
Kirkenes is ideally suited for observing the Northern Lights. Regardless of this draw, the Norwegian landmark feels like a final destination; end of the line for both roads and ferries. Yet Kirkenes, situated at a mere 10 kilometres from Russia, is known as the ‘gateway to the east’. Renovating the existing E105 targets the facilitation of trade and cooperation between neighbouring countries. Part of this upgrade is the construction of the Bøkfjord bridge; the 120 metre arched steel bridge spanning the Norwegian fjords, connecting Norway and Russia. A complex logistical challenge for Wagenborg to overcome.
The Hanseatic city of Münster (Germany) has no fewer than 17 bridges across the Dortmund - Ems Canal. A number of these bridges are in need of renovation or renewal, including the Schillerstrasse Brücke.
The new Trogbrücke in Emden replaces an old railway bridge which is not meeting modern railway traffic standards anymore. The new railway bridge is 8.80 meters wide (2.60 meters wider than the previous bridge) and gives access to modern railwagons with larger cargo dimensions. The new 550 tons weighing railway bridge has had a construction period of only 6 months.
The Green Connection is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge connecting the south of Rotterdam with the green space outside the city. The bridge is nearly 200 metres long, weighs over 600 tonnes and spans the Betuwe railway line and the A15 motorway. The transport and lifting operation of the uniquely-designed bridge presented a special challenge.
In January 2012, a lock gate weighing 90 tonnes of the lock in the picturesque village of Eefde (NL) fell down. As a result, the only access from the river IJssel to the Twentekanaal was blocked and 40 inland navigation vessels could no longer leave the Twentekanaal. A major problem for inland navigation and shippers in the Twente region, who could no longer ship their cargo.
In the summer of 2015 the deck of the Kruisvaart bridge in Utrecht (NL), a movable bridge in the centre of Utrecht, was replaced. A new composite bridge section was transported in a rather special way from the manufacturing location in Rotterdam to its final location in the heart of Utrecht.
