Power-Hoss Units Transport Prefabricated Components for the Mahatma Gandhi Bridge in India
Indian bridge construction specialist, S. P. Singla Constructions Pvt. Ltd., has procured SCHEUERLE SPMT PowerHoss 330 modules for maneuvering prefabricated concrete elements on the construction site of the new Mahatma Gandhi Bridge in India. The Mahatma Gandhi Bridge connects the metropolis of Patna on the southern bank of the Ganges River with the city of Hajipur on the northern side, and is one of the most important vehicle routes in the north-eastern Indian state of Bihar. However, the more than 40-year-old structure could no longer accommodate the high volume of traffic. As a result, the Indian Ministry of Transport commissioned S. P. Singla Constructions Pvt. Ltd. (SPSCPL) to build a 4-lane, almost 5.6 km long prestressed concrete bridge parallel to the existing structure. S. P. Singla Constructions not only uses modern technologies when building bridges but also relies on innovative transport solutions when it comes to transportation requirements. In order to transport the individual concrete segments for the new Mahatma Gandhi Bridge, each weighing around 175 t, around the construction site, SPSCPL is using the SPMT PowerHoss 330 from TII SCHEUERLE. Each of the self-propelled modular transporters (SMTP) has 6 axle lines which provide a load-bearing capacity of 330 t. For safely transporting the prefabricated components to the so-called girder launcher, 2 module transporters are coupled side-by-side. A special bridge crane then positions the prefabricated parts in the designated area of the bridge. After negotiations with the TII Group sales team, Rohit Singla, owner, and Rajeev Kumar Singh, managing director of the Indian company, decided to buy the modules just one day later. Under the umbrella of the TII Group, TII India, with its location and competent team in Bawal, is responsible for the service and spare parts supply for the SPMT PowerHoss as well as advising vehicle operators during use. Through TII India, the TII Group ensures the provision of on-site customer-oriented support using the know-how of an industry leader in the self-propelled modular transporter segment.
TII SCHEUERLE offers SPMT PowerHoss modules with 2, 4 or 6 hydraulically supported pendulum axle lines. They accommodate payloads of up to 85, 180 or 330 t per module respectively. In addition, individual SPMT PowerHoss modules can be easily coupled mechanically laterally and lengthwise using the plug-and-play principle or operated electronically in a loose coupling mode. This means they can also meet even higher payload requirements. Thus, a vehicle combination of 4 SPMT PowerHoss 330s is able to move loads with a unit weight of up to 1,320 t. Due to the PPU (Power Pack Unit) drive unit integrated into the transport platform, the SPMT PowerHoss can be used immediately whilst the operator only requires a very short instruction period. With its compact module dimensions, the PowerHoss is also ideally suited for moving loads in tunnels, galleries and hall areas where space for maneuvering is very limited. In addition, it can be operated on different surfaces, outdoors or in production halls – regardless whether the road surface is made of gravel, asphalt, concrete or similar materials. SPMT PowerHoss transport modules are based on SPMT series technology which has been tried and tested over decades and thus provides the advantages of conventional SPMT transporters. This includes the robust construction design, hydrostatic drive as well as the electronic multi-directional steering system complete with all known steering programs which facilitates highly precise navigation |
