As in the I-95 Interchange, Somerset assisted in winning
this project for the same client. Unlike the I-95 project, this
four-level structure consists of 1,366 precast segments erected
in balanced cantilever. All specially built equipment including
tiltable spreaders, stressing platforms, and steel falsebents were
designed by Somerset. Some of the spans crossed over a canal and
under a newly constructed bridge, so we conceived a 60-ton capacity
lifting frame to erect segments that were inaccessible to conventional
equipment. We also designed a construction access bridge across
the canal to carry a 450 ton capacity crawler crane.
