What a festive day it was for the Wagenborg Nedlift team yesterday! On this beautiful spring day, the new flagship in the crane fleet, the LTM 1650-8.1, was officially handed over at our site in Hengelo.
The largest and busiest motorway intersection in the North Netherlands is the Julianaplein in the city of Groningen. Two motorways, the A7 and A28, intersect here currently controlled by traffic lights. This situation leads to considerable congestion around the city. For this reason, Julianaplein is being completely converted into a new grade-separated traffic interchange.
We are proud of our recent certification for step 3 of the Safety Culture Ladder in the working area: “The execution of horizontal, vertical and special transport with associated assembly, engineering and project management”
No one could have predicted that the past year would be so turbulent. Stable factors have been disturbed, which has led to much uncertainty. At Wagenborg Nedlift, we are not daunted by this. We continue to build on our expertise and capabilities, together with our employees, customers and partners. On the eve of 2022, we look back.
December is festive season and the same goes for Wagenborg Nedlift! No fewer than three new Liebherr cranes arrived at the yards in Groningen and Hengelo (in the Netherlands) and Hörstel (in Germany).
Wagenborg Nedlift has recently expanded its road plates range with a new composite variant. These ISOTRACK X road plates are produced from high-quality thermoplastic material, making them exceptionally strong, durable and lightweight. They can also be linked together with a handy connector pin system, thus creating a continuous, non-slip surface with a high load-bearing capacity. Moreover, these composite road plates perform better than conventional ones when it comes to pressure distribution.
The "Ludwig-Volk-Steg" footbridge, built in 1967, connects the communities of Margetshöchheim and Veitshöchheim, near Würzburg. Two of the bridge's piers are located in the navigation channel of the Main River, which can lead to unsafe situations. With this, a new suspension bridge is under construction. With barrier-free ramps and a width of three metres, this suspension bridge allows cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Main River safely, which also allowing for safe passage for shipping traffic.
The railway bridges over the River Oder at Küstrin, on the German-Polish border, were built in 1926. In the past, these bridges connected Berlin with East and West Prussia as part of the so-called Ostbahn. This railway is still important as a detour and alternative route for the Berlin – Warsaw route. But the old railway bridges are at the end of their technical life and out of service since the end of 2020. Therefore, they are replaced by a brand new bridge that completely spans the Oder.
