A precision job for road workers on the A27 at the Hooipolder junction: a tunnel bin of 6300 tons was pushed under the highway on Thursday night. This underpass must ensure a better flow. Of the job
The underpass had to travel a distance of 112.5 meters. The colossus was therefore attached to 96 lifting equipment and lifted five centimeters up on rails at night.
Three push pussies moved the construction into the A27 at ten meters per hour. After retiring, the soil was supplemented again. 20,000 cubic meters have been excavated to be able to build up the slider.
