Project description

Creation of a rotating pedestrian footbridge during renovation of the Colbert swing bridge.

Challenges to meet

  • Complexity of assembling several locapal "standard" items together to achieve a length of 45m

  • Creation of new elements to allow the bridge to rotate

  • Counter-sweep at the end of the gangway to reach the correct level on the other side of the harbour

Use of numerical controls to cut plates and profiles, with marking to facilitate assembly.
