Harsco to Support Major Bridge Construction Project in Germany Under New $2 Million Order
September 22 2011 - 10:08AM
Global industrial solutions company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC)
announced today a new order worth more than $2 million to supply
self-climbing formwork systems and services to a major new bridge
construction project in southwestern Germany.
Harsco will support Porr Germany, one of the most renowned
construction companies in Germany, in the construction of the High
Moselle (Hochmosel) Bridge, an all-new 1.7 kilometer (1 mile) span
linking Belgium's metropolitan areas and the Belgian/Dutch shipping
ports on the North Sea with the Rhine-Main region in Germany.
Harsco will support the project with its technically advanced
self-climbing formwork, a highly flexible and efficient system that
will be used to construct the bridge's ten support piers. Harsco's
solution is designed to provide a safe and secure working area in
combination with a very high load capacity and minimal downtime,
enabling the complete geometry of each pier to be constructed with
only one platform assembly. A similar Harsco solution is
already in place supporting the accelerated construction of the new
3.1 kilometer (2 mile-long) Russky Island Bridge in Vladivostok in
Russia, where Harsco is supplying two self-climbing units for the
construction of one 321 m pier (1,050 feet) and several 70 m piers
(230 feet). That project's schedule calls for completion in
time for the 2012 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
"This award clearly demonstrates our technical expertise and our
ability to transfer that expertise into a cost-effective
construction solution for our clients," said Ivor J. Harrington,
Harsco Executive Vice President and Infrastructure Group CEO.
