| Abstrait: |
Stonecutters Bridge is a large cable stayed road bridge spanning the Rambler Channel in Hong Kong above a busy shipping channel. The concept was procured through an international design competition in 2000. Design challenges included quantifying the effects of a turbulent wind climate on the flexible structure, as well as many other detailed investigations, tests and analyses. Construction commenced in early 2004. Site activities have all been large scale, including deep piling, large concrete pours, massive temporary works, high level working, and heavy lifting operations. Geometry of steelwork fabrication and erection had to be carefully controlled. The final main span segment was lifted into place in March 2009. Opening is scheduled for November. |
