Kupapaulua Bridge


Back to Project Showcase
 

  Project type: Bridges - Access Systems
Owner: Hawaii Dept. of Transportation, Hawaiian Dredging Construction
Installed: March 2003
Removed: January 2004
Project value: $750,000

Hawaiian Dredging had a rigging problem. A concrete arch bridge over a steep ravine had to be strengthened and widened in this seismically active island in Hawaii. Tens of thousands of holes had to be drilled in the existing members requiring excellent access and safety.

Certified Coatings was selected to provide an access system consisting of thirteen 12'x48' truss frame platforms suspended from the bridge deck under the arch to support scaffolding. This system allowed Hawaiian Dredging to access the entire bridge at once, greatly enhancing their schedule and productivity.
