A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Project consists of number of bridges connecting series of man made islands; many 65-ft and 98-ft prestressed concrete stringer spans, and one 130-ft steel girder span; use of gantry that rides rails atop bridge to hoist prestressed stringers; to set sheetpiles, long rectangular templet supported by spud at each corner is used; top pocket between sheetpile units is grouted; wasting of grout is prevented and tremie operation eliminated by use of plastic "sock".
