Lowering And Securing The Bailey Bridge

Once the bridge has been pushed to its designated position at the abutment on the opposite bank, it enters the final stage of completion.

Removing the Nose Frame: First, remove the nose frame at the front end, which was used to assist in pushing the bridge.

Synchronized Lowering: Using multiple jacks, lower the entire bridge slowly and simultaneously from the rollers onto the bearings at both ends of the abutments.

Final Fixation: Securely connect the bridge structure to the embedded components on the abutments. Then install the deck planks, guardrails, and other ancillary facilities-completing the assembly of the Bailey bridge.
