PRECASTING REDUCES WORK ERECTING 44 BRIDGE PIERS
Canada's 12.9 km Northumberland Strait Crossing is being constructed on gravity foundations, eliminating the need for piles and keeping marine work to a minimum. Precast shafts connect with precast bases in water up to 30 m deep to support girder spans for the new crossing. This article describes erection of the bridge piers, connection of the components under water, and a design template that matches girders to piers. Scheduled completion of the crossing is 1997.
