The Mohembo bridge over the Okavango River in Botswana is a project by the Roads Department Ministry of Transport & Communications, Botswana. The 4400T bridge is a steel deck comprising of two double T main beams (2m high) and a centrally located high spine beam. The cable stayed bridge is supported by 72 cables anchored to the two 54m high main pylons and made of truncated cone sections of steel of variable diameter and thickness that resemble the shape of elephant tusks.
Sarens was commissioned to supply cranes, SPMTs, and ancillary equipment for the project. Being in a remote location the team had to pre-plan the movement of the crew and the equipment. The following equipment were deployed for the project: cranes ranging from 50T-400T, 12 axle-lines SPMTs, four boomlifts, two scissor lifts, and two telehandlers.
Sarens has been on-site since June 2019 to help the client build the Mohembo Bridge.
