Fully-Formed: New Projects in China and Korea Are Being Built Using the Full-Span Erection Method
Straddle carriers, a launching gantry, and motorized tire trolleys are the focus of the article. The author describes efforts by NRS, a specialist supplier, in its work in China and Korea. China is planning to build dedicated passenger railways totaling 12,000 km at a cost of more than $95.4 billion (US) by 2020. NRS has also worked on a $783 million (US) full span method project on the Second Incheon Bridge in Korea, which will link the airport with New Songdo City.
