Group Four Assists Bridging Between States
The company was replacing a vertical lift bridge connecting New Hampshire and Maine. A crucial element was balancing the bridge section with counterweights. The bridge span was built upriver on a barge and floated into place early one morning. The Group Four rented four 1 million lb. capacity load cells with hand-held displays to the contractor. The load cells were set up at the four corners of the span, where the bearings are located. They positioned the span and slowly lowered it onto the Group Four load cells. The weight measurements were used to adjust the counterweights so they are as close to the bridge weight as possible.
