Successful Launch
Constructing a curved steel bridge high above a canyon floor presents a unique set of conundrums, including how to elevate the girders sufficiently without inducing warping and how to protect them from strong and unpredictable wind gusts. In British Columbia, a public-private partnership of design and construction professionals resolved these issues for a bridge above the Kicking Horse River by choosing a girder launching system that had never before been attempted on a bridge of that magnitude in North America.
