Mabey Bridge designs and supplies long-span Delta bridge to support sustainable development and economic growth in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province http://www.saudimirror.com/mabey-bridge-designs-and-supplies-long-span-delta-bridge-to-support-sustainable-development-and-economic-growth-in-pakistans-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-province/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 08:00:00 +0000 http://www.saudimirror.com/?p=214036 LYDNEY, United Kingdom, April 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mabey Bridge, the international modular bridging specialist and an Acrow Group company, noted today one of its Delta bridges has been installed in the village of Singur, District Chitral, in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. Constructing this new permanent bridge in District Chitral was one of the projects included in several recent government economic development initiatives, including the Chitral Economic Zone, which is expected to facilitate a large increase in employment opportunities in the area.

Located over the Chitral River in the northwestern part of the country, the new Singur Bridge is on a major route and considered critical to promoting socio–economic development in the region. Positioned more than 1500 metres above sea level, the remote site is difficult to access, so an easily–transported and rapidly–installed modular bridge offered an optimal solution for this permanent application. A Delta bridge from Mabey Bridge was supplied and installed by the 45 Engineers Division of the Pakistan Army working in partnership with military engineering and construction firm Frontier Works Organization (FWO).

The 2–span Delta bridge is 100 metres long with a roadway width of 7.35 metres between kerbs, and features a polyurethane–based anti–skid deck surface. Designed to carry HL–93 loading, it was installed using a full cantilever launch in 21 days. This project is the latest of a number of Mabey Bridge projects completed in Pakistan and installed by the FWO, who are highly experienced in the installation of modular bridges. On this project, the Pakistan Army Engineers moved individuals from various units, all with previous Delta experience, to assist with the installation in order to ensure a rapid and smooth installation of the bridge.

Michael Treacy, CEO Mabey Bridge, said,

"We are honoured to have been selected once again to partner on such an important project in Pakistan. Our reliable, cost–effective steel bridging solutions are well–suited to remote locations, and have been installed all over Pakistan to restore vital rural connectivity. We are delighted to have worked with both the 45 Engineers Division and FWO on this important project, building on a decades–long partnership in the development of critical rural infrastructure in Pakistan."

Vita Inclinata Expands Into the Middle East Market http://www.saudimirror.com/vita-inclinata-expands-into-the-middle-east-market/ Thu, 31 Mar 2022 04:00:00 +0000 http://www.saudimirror.com/?p=213888 BROOMFIELD, Colo., WASHINGTON, and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vita Inclinata (Vita), developer and producer of helicopter and crane load stabilization and precision hardware, today announced ALEC Engineering and Contracting (ALEC) piloted the company's Vita Lifting System in Q4, 2021. ALEC selected Vita Inclinata's Lifting System for field trial after a comprehensive evaluation. The Vita system was initially inspected in the UAE by Astron Certification, in accordance with International and UAE lifting standards.

As a leading construction company in the GCC, ALEC owns and operates its own equipment including 33 cranes, 122 pieces of heavy plant equipment, and 8 hoists. The company has successfully delivered over 100 complex projects across diverse sectors including airports, retail spaces, hotels & resorts, high–rise buildings, and themed projects. The company's focus on pioneering digital technologies enables ground–breaking innovation, increased efficiency, and collaboration with building""technology partners such as Vita. The Vita partnership enables ALEC to gather data on lift speed, ease of placement, time savings, and safety/reduced risk capabilities.

"Dubai's construction projects are constantly challenged with extreme heat and wind conditions that often create significant safety hazards and extended timelines," said Caleb Carr, Vita Inclinata CEO. "We are honored ALEC selected our lift system for evaluation and excited to see that our technology performed so well in these high–profile evaluations."

After a brief training and certification program, ALEC took control of the Vita Load Pilot (VLP) and conducted a multi–week field trial on two separate sites in the UAE. Although the smallest of Vita's industrial systems, the VLP was pushed to its functional limits and performed flawlessly""providing remote, precision load control without taglines at heights over 200m, traversing or "walking" around corners, and in high–wind conditions.

"As a multi–disciplinary company, ALEC has built a reputation for solving problems by using innovation to help execute complex projects on time, on budget, and safely," said Imad Itani, Innovation Manager for ALEC. "We were impressed by the Vita Lifting System's rugged, easy–to–use, semi–automated load control technology that will improve operations by improving efficiency, reducing downtime caused by high winds, minimizing risk to load and life on the worksite, as well as driving bottom–line savings."
