ACE supply float up winch spread for assistance of the world’s longest suspension bridge

The Çanakkale 1915 is a 3.7km suspension bridge being built over the Dardanelles Strait in the Çanakkale province of Turkey. Located at the western end of the Marmara Sea. The new bridge is expected to improve the transportation network in the country, and promote socio-economic growth and tourism.

It will be a steel suspension bridge with three lanes in both directions. The main span of the bridge will be 2,023m, while the Gallipoli approach viaduct will be 900m-long and the Lapseki approach viaduct will be 650m-long.

The structure of the bridge will be a reinforced concrete deck, which will be supported by two shear-connected longitudinal steel box beams that
will be interconnected through steel crossbeams supported on external cantilevers.

ACE Winches supported the float out of cassions which involves two phases, the dry dock phase and the wet dock phase. ACE supplied 15 Drum Winches for both phases..
