In Novi Sad, Serbia, a Potain MCT 88<\/a> tower crane is playing a pivotal role in a project to rehabilitate the \u017de\u017eelj Bridge, which spans the Danube River and connects a key stretch of international railway.<\/p>\n

The \u017de\u017eelj Bridge, originally built in 1961, was torn down in 1999 after being damaged by wartime bombing in the former Yugoslavia. Belgrade-based Serbia Railways pledged to rebuild the bridge in 2014 as part of a larger \u20ac1.2 billion investment in Serbia\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Azvi, the construction division of Seville, Spain-based Azvi Group, was tasked in August of 2016 with rebuilding the bridge. In order to access the lifts, the company needed a lifting solution that would enable operators to remotely control a crane, as it would be erected on a cofferdam in the middle of the Danube River and difficult to physically access. Azvi chose a Potain MCT 88 for the project because of its robust remote control functions and easy erection.<\/p>\n

\"Potain-MCT-88-flat-top-tower-crane-1\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this specific job, one of the most satisfying features of this crane was its radio remote control function,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Contreras, deputy project manager for Azvi. \u201cThe crane\u2019s location on the river is a little precarious, so ensuring that our contractors can make successful lifts from a remote location has given us a big boost in efficiency. The minimal components also helped us to get to work quicker than we might have with other tower cranes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5 t (5.5 USt) MCT 88\u2014the largest in Potain\u2019s MCT city topless series\u2014is currently erected with 52 m (171 ft) of jib in the middle of the Danube River, on top of a customized cofferdam. River water must be continually pumped away from the cofferdam to ensure site stability. Azvi assembles metallic arches for the bridge on the riverbank and moves them by pontoon to the crane\u2019s position in the middle of the river. The MCT 88 then lifts the arch components, which weigh nearly 5,200 t (5,732 USt) when combined, on top of the original \u017de\u017eelj Bridge\u2019s foundations. Work on the bridge is expected to continue into 2017.<\/p>\n

The \u017de\u017eelj Bridge will be one of the longest railway bridges in Europe when construction is completed. The structure is located along an international railway line that crosses the Hungarian border. The bridge will measure 474 m (1,555 ft) in length and 31.8 m (104 ft) in width, and it will feature several amenities that include two railway tracks, a two-lane road and two bicycle lanes that each measure 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in width.<\/p>\n

Azvi rented the MCT 88 based on a recommendation from B&L UTRIP (B&L), a Prebold, Slovenia-based dealer that has offered the sales, rental and service of Potain cranes for 25 years. After taking delivery of the MCT 88 at KIGO, a subsidiary of B&L located in Novi Beograd, Serbia, Azvi was able to erect the crane on the cofferdam with direct assistance from B&L.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe skill and experience of Sebastian David and the rest of the staff at B&L UTRIP has been evident throughout this project,\u201d Contreras explained. \u201cNot only did they suggest the best crane for the job, but the company\u2019s technical department took the time to properly erect the MCT 88 in a very difficult position on the river. The attention to detail that they put in from the very beginning is paying off, as we are still working ahead of schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n

Azvi Group was founded more than 100 years ago and is structured around four primary business areas: construction, concessions, railroad transport and property development. The construction division of the firm, Azvi, is headquartered in Seville, Spain, and offers a number of civil engineering services such as roads, high-speed rail, hydraulic and environmental work, airports and much more.<\/p>\n
