Replacing an old bridge is never easy

The railway bridges in Stockholm city centre are to be replaced. Needless to say, this is a very sensitive operation and the Swedish Transport Administration wanted to acquire as much information about the problem as possible, as early as possible. One way of managing the impact of the operation on traffic was to transport and install the bridges over water.

SSPA used its know-how of maritime operations and state-of-the-art simulation tool SEAMAN to help our client save money and manage the risks involved in such an operation. After the project, our client felt that they had a much better understanding of the problem and could start the bidding process with more confidence.
