Sarens recently took part in the construction of the Al Hadarat Bridge in Cairo, which will be one of the tallest bridges in Africa. Over the course of several weeks, Sarens performed two lifting operations on behalf of Arab Contractors, bringing the bridge project closer to completion.
Sarens began by lifting and installing eleven 150-tonne, 41m steel beams. The crew employed a CC4800 crane in SSL configuration with a 66m main boom with a 270T SL CW. They would slew the crane into place after removing each beam from its original location. Over the course of one week, the four-person team successfully completed eleven choices.
Sarens brought in the CC2600H with a 78m main boom for the following round of lifts for another tight and high execution. The 63 beams, each weighing 90 tonnes and measuring 50m long, were then fitted by a four-person crew. The team slewed into position after taking each beam off the trailer, completing 63 such selections in three weeks.
