Description
This
type
of
linkspan,
called
integral
pontoon
linkspan,
was
invented
and
developed
by
Kashec
and
installed
for
the
first time on the Tees in 1989.
The
integral
pontoon
linkspan
is
a
structurally
robust
structure
formed
by
combining
the
bridge
and
the
floating
pontoon as a single unit.
It
is
easy
to
install
and
operate.
It
also
provides
greater
flexibility to operate varying sizes and types of ferries.
We
are
proud
to
be
the
pioneers
of
this
type
of
structure
that
is
currently
the
most
common
type
of
linkspan
used
worldwide.
Project Design
Kashec
provided
full
marine
civil
and
structural
design
services for this scheme.
The
structure
consisted
of
a
60
metre
long
integral
pontoon
and
approach
ramp
designed
using
a
box
girder
structural
steel construction.
