| January 21, 2010 | Amtrak Bridge Replacement over the Thames River, New London Connecticut | Lewiston, Me | January 21, 2009 - Please join the Maine Section at the Ramada in Lewiston, Maine, for a presentation on the replacement of the Amtrak bridge over the Thames River in New London, Connecticut successfully completed by Cianbro in 2008. Joe Foley, P.E. and Joe Orlando, P.E., Senior structural engineers for Cianbro, will be discussing the construction design challenges of this bridge replacement. The project included extending the existing foundations and constructing the new lift span towers around live railroad tracks on Amtrak’s busy Northeast Corridor. In addition to work stoppages for train traffic, the channel had to be cleared for Navy submarines traveling to and from US Navy Sub Base New London facility about a half mile up river. The new lift span was constructed on a barge just up river from the bridge. The project culminated in the support of the existing 1,500 ton counterweight and removal of the existing 600 ton Strauss Bascule Span, jacking the new 1,400 ton lift span up 30 feet on a barge, and floating it into position and lowering it onto the new bearings, all during a 96 hour scheduled track outage. This presentation will show how these challenges were met with detailed planning of all rigging and jacking operations to complete the project within Amtrak’s outage schedule. |
