Watch how Mammoet successfully lifted both halves of the central arch of the new Matagarup Bridge, weighing 400t, using the innovative Mega Jack in Perth, Australia.
The team utilised the Mega Jack system where it was built as a construction tower 50m above one of the bridge piers and acted as a temporary support. The steel components of the arch measured 120m long x 35m wide were pulled using strand jacks, within a single day.
It was then held securely by the Mega Jack tower until the second wishbone was raised in the same manner and welded to create the complete central bridge arch.
