Bridge Launching and Jacking
Bridge launching and jacking are specialised construction techniques used to move and position bridge structures with precision and safety. Bridge launching involves incrementally sliding a bridge deck into its final position, while bridge jacking involves lifting and adjusting the height of bridge sections. These techniques are essential for constructing bridges in challenging environments and for performing maintenance and repairs on existing structures. PTS Solutions possesses the expertise and equipment to handle these complex operations with accuracy and efficiency.
