Mammoet<\/a> successfully took over and completed the\u00a0Juliana Bridge in Alphen on den Rijn in the Netherlands. \u00a0A deck was successfully placed on the bridge on Wednesday morning, NU.nl<\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s attempt to place the bridge deck turned into a disaster when the two cranes operated by Peinemann Lifting Solutions <\/a>attempting the task collapsed onto surrounding buildings. Resulting in minor injuries and enormous amounts of damage. To Peinemann’s credit, the general director Ad Kornet released a video and apologized<\/a> for the accident. \u00a0WATCH HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last time the the deck was maneuvered from the water, with the two cranes standing on pontoons, according to NU. This time, the Mammoet All Terrain cranes were carefully stationed on the opposite sides of the bridge, on the ground, and the deck was hoisted onto the bridge from a pontoon.<\/p>\n

Preparation for the placement starte<\/a>d around 7:00 a.m. The actual placement began around 9:00 a.m. and took about an hour and a half. For the rest of the day, the construction workers will adjust the deck so it fits precisely.<\/p>\n

The final assembly of the bridge will be done later this week. It is expected that the Juliana Bridge will open for traffic on June 20th.<\/p>\n
