Delivery of steel construction segments for 'Čiovo' bridge completed

According to the contract with the company Strabag AG, which is a separate contractor for steel spans, and the investor Croatian Roads, since the beginning of this year, partially completed segments have been consolidated in the Split shipard, which Brodosplit has taken over from the previous contractors. According to the contract the segments should be fabricated, protected from corrosion and installed connecting two coasts this way.

Brodosplit has established mechanism, large manufacturing facilities, technological capabilities, excellent location from which it is easy to carry out maritime transport, excellent engineering staff as well as a wide range of production workers of different profiles and rich experience, said Ivana Zore, Brodosplit head of quality control.

The bridge steel construction consists of totally 14 superstructures, of which the most demanding one is the central part on which hydraulic mechanisms for lifting the central part of the bridge have been installed. Apart form building the main construction, Brodosplit also carried out the installation of pipes, fences and other additional equipment.

With today's delivery of the last superstructure, in a very short period of six months, Brodosplit has provided the quality realisation of this demanding project, and has produced, delivered and installed all segments of the Čiovo bridge thus symbolically connecting two banks.
