REGIRDERING OF MAHANADI BRIDGE, SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY

The author describes a novel method adopted for regirdering the Mahanadi Bridge with 64 spans of 30.48 m each, near Cattack on the South-Eastern Railway. The conventional method of regirdering using stagings or an enveloping girder would have been laborious, expensive and time consuming. The problems were overcome by careful planning, making the best use of the available space and resources, and taking some calculated risks. Detailed calculations were made to ensure safety of the structure and the cranes.
