Zuari Bridge
On Going
Zuari cable stayed bridge is a high demand project as the existing bridge in Zuari River connecting Panjim and Mangalore does not cater to heavy vehicle movements due to its poor condition.
Construction of the Zuari cable stayed bridge includes building a bridge across the river Zuari on NH-17/ NH 66 on Panjim – Mangalore section in the State of Goa. The Zuari cable stayed bridge is 640m long with central navigational span of 360m and end span on both sides of 140m. This makes the bridge the 2nd longest and widest cable stay bridge in India. A tourist observatory and restaurant at the 110m high tower is planned on the bridge.
Zuari cable stayed bridge has 8 (4+4) lanes with 27m wide dual carriageways and a centre median of 10.7m. Bridge deck is of composite structure (steel structure and concrete) with a temporary steel walkway connecting both sides of embankments and pylon foundation locations for construction logistics. The bridge deck is fabricated at site using high tech robotic welding equipment. It is transported by barge into the river, where it is lifted and erected by lifting frames.
DBL has joined hands with a Ukraine based company, Mostobudivelnyi Zahin Limited (MBZ) with a 74% and 26% stake respectively, to construct the cable stay bridge. MBZ has experience in construction of bridges including suspension bridge of 840 metres with a central span of 520 metres and is the technical partner to Dilip Buildcon Limited for this project. MBZ’s involvement is to support in design, technical matters and execution.
Equipment used for this bridge includes 55 x 15 m Dumb Barge, 12 x 8 m Dumb Barge, 25 x 10 m Dumb Barge, 60 x 13 m Dumb Barge, MAIT Piling Rigs, Tower Cranes, and Robotic Welding System Equipment.
