In October 2024, using an ingenious combination of four SPMT sets, our bridge team installed the first 156-metre-long and 1,080-tonne bridge over the River Lippe in Wesel, Germany. Railway line Emmerich-Oberhausen is 73 kilometres long and an important part of the European freight transport network. On the Emmerich-Oberhausen line, two existing railway viaducts over the River Lippe were replaced and an additional link was built.
The River Pärnu in Estonia flows through the city of Pärnu, also known as the 'Summer Capital of Estonia' because of its location on the Gulf of Riga and its many summer festivals. In the middle of this historic city, a new riverside link is being built. A perfect job for Wagenborg Nedlift's bridge team.
Combinatie Herepoort is the construction consortium carrying out the reconstruction of the Groningen ring road. Wagenborg Nedlift has been involved in the project since the start in 2018. Project manager Harry Oudman, work planner Rick Kleiverda and supervisor Jan Dinkla talk about 5 years of the Ring Road South Project.
Countless bridges link the banks of the Ruhr. This is also the case in Duisburg, where four adjacent railway bridges over the Ruhr Canal have been given colourful names to distinguish them from each other. After the 'gelbe’(yellow) bridge was replaced a few years ago, it was now the turn of the 'violette’ (purple) bridge, a lattice railway bridge built in 1917. Not an easy job for Wagenborg Nedlift's bridge team!
Large equipment, horizontal, vertical and heavy transport are typical for the work of Wagenborg Nedlift. This seems to contradict the ever increasing focus on being sustainable. oBut is this true? But is this true? Johan Dorgelo, Commercial Director, explains.
During the spring of 2022, Wagenborg Nedlift participated in a major project in Leverkusen, Germany. Work was commissioned by two civil contractors to remove an old railway viaduct. Wagenborg's crew then installed two new spans at the same location. This involved not only lifting but also sliding, says Peter Eijffius, project manager on this heavy duty job.
Wagenborg Nedlift’s bridge specialists attracted quite a crowd mid June. A new bridge was being installed over the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the residents of Münster came out in droves to watch the work up close.
Work is busily underway on the Emmerich–Oberhausen rail line to expand the capacity of the line and to free up the bottlenecks. The installation of a new rail bridge over the Rhine-Herne Canal in Oberhausen, which will complement the existing four bridges, is a significant milestone in the project.
