COWI reaches major milestone on McKinley Bridge
科威在麦金利大桥项目上实现了重要里程碑
Los Angeles, 14 October 2024- COWI, a leading global engineering consultancy has reached a major milestone in California by successfully completing the move of the 290’ steel network tied arch for the McKinley Grade Separation Project in the City of Corona, California.
2024 年 10 月 14 日，洛杉矶——全球领先的工程咨询公司科威在加利福尼亚洲达成了一个重要里程碑，在加利福尼亚洲科罗纳市麦金利立体交叉项目中成功移动290 英尺（约 88.4 米）钢网系杆拱。
The bridge was moved with self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) from the staging yard to its final position and crossed Sampson Avenue, the Arlington Flood Control Channel, and two BNSF mainline tracks. COWI was responsible for verification of the arch during all stages of construction and move operations, as well as the design of the temporary crossings utilized during the move and temporary trusses to support the arch on the SPMTs.
自行式模块化运输车（SPMTs）将这座桥梁从过渡堆场运送到目的地，途中跨越了桑普森大道、阿灵顿防洪通道以及伯灵顿北方圣塔菲铁路的两条主线轨道。科威负责在施工和平移的全部段对拱进行检定，以及设计平移过程中使用的临时通道和用于在自行式模块化运输车上支撑拱的临时桁架。
The project is set to improve how locals and visitors travel through McKinley Street as currently traffic is stopped two hours and 35 minutes cumulatively every day while the gate is down for passing trains. This number is expected to increase to four hours and 20 minutes by the year 2035.The project will build an arch bridge to elevate McKinley Street over the BNSF railroad tracks and Arlington Channel.
该项目旨在改善当地居民和游客在麦金利街的通行状况。目前，由于铁路道口的闸门需要放下以供火车通过，这条街的交通每天会中断两小时三十五分钟。预计到2035年，道口关闭时长将增加至四小时二十分钟。该项目将建造一座拱桥，使麦金利街跨越伯灵顿北方圣塔菲铁路轨道和阿灵顿河道。
Thomas Dahlgren, President, COWI in North America, said: “It’s great to be part of a project that will help to relieve congestion, improve mobility and safety for both motorists and pedestrians, and improve air quality and noise in the area.
科威北美区总裁托马斯·达尔格伦表示：“很高兴能参与这样一个项目，它将有助于缓解交通拥堵，提高驾车者和行人的出行便利性和安全性，并改善该地区的空气质量和噪音状况。
“We have leveraged our past project experience in 3D analysis and Bridge Information Modeling to verify bridge stability, arch capacity and hanger stresses for the differential movements imparted during the move. The accelerated bridge construction technique utilized for this project limited impacts to the traveling public and rail operations, allowing the bridge to be erected over train and vehicular traffic in a single weekend closure.” Construction activities began in early 2022 with an anticipated completion date in late 2024/early 2025.
“利用过去在三维分析和桥梁信息模型方面的项目经验，我们对移动过程中产生的差异运动所涉及的桥梁稳定性、拱的承载能力和吊杆应力进行了检验。该项目采用的桥梁快速施工技术减少了对出行人群和铁路运营的影响，使桥梁能在不影响铁路和公路运输的情况下以一周末的时间架设完成。”施工活动于 2022 年初开始，预计在2024年末/2025年初完工。
