Bridges

Sarens has a rich history in accelerated bridge replacement and installation technologies. In the early eighties Sarens moved its first bridge with SPMT's. Today an average of 70 bridge projects are executed each year using alternative rapid replacement technologies, and many more with the use of cranes.

Sarens developed specialized equipment for creative and tailor-made solutions, and is able to do all design and engineering in-house.

For bridge moves Sarens uses following techniques and equipment:
climbing systems
jacking
SPMT's
barges
Ballasting systems
Mooring equipment
strand jacks

Some examples of record projects:

Millau bridge, France: highest bridge in the world, deck of 280m above the ground
Weil am Rhein, Germany: longest single span pedestrian bridge, 260m
Sam White bridge, USA: longest two-span bridge moved in the Western hemisphere, 354 feet long
