3. Bogibeel Bridge also Worlds Longest Incrementally Launched Steel Bridge
India's longest railcum-road Bogibed bridge is
not only the country's first fully-welded steel bridge but the world's
longest incrementally
launched steel bridge,The Brahmaputra has
been bridged only four times in the past, and HCC
holds the distinction of building two of those bridges and now, we constructed
the fifth said infrastructure major Hindustan Construction Company (HCC).
The 4.9 km-long superstructure will provide connectivity to
nearly five million people residing in Upper Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The
project boasts multiple benefits such
as strategic and speedier access for defence forces to the Indo-China border,
seamless access for medical facilities to remote north-eastern states and most
importantly reduces nearly ten hours of transportation distance between NH-37 & NH52,
saving transportation
cost, time and fuel. “We have undertaken complex projects that are benchmarks in
India's infrastructure journey. Bogibeel Bridge is an
engineering masterpiece,
which has many technical firsts to its name. It is India’s first fully welded
Warren truss
girder type steel bridge” said HCC Director and Group CEO, Arjun Dhawan.
“Not only as an incremental launching technique for superstructure
erection been used for the first time in India,
It is also the world's longest incrementally
launched steel bridge. HCC is proud to create such marvels for the nation Dhawan
said.
The structure was constructed using special copper-bearing
steel plates in order to reduce corrosion. The bridge is
designed to withstand earthquakes with magnitudes of above 7 in the Richter
scale. The company said its team through sheer determination and grit completed
this project as bridging the mighty Brahmaputra
has always been a daunting task.
The Hindustan Construction Company Group, with a turnover
of Rs 10,132 crore, comprises of HCC Ltd, HCC Infrastructure Co Ltd and Steiner
AG in Switzerland. It has been the backbone for such development projects since
the last few years.
