Time-Lapse Example: 36hr Road Bridge Demolition & Replacement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2012
- This was a time-lapse project commissioned by Network Rail and Carillion. We captured the demolition and installation of a road bridge near Romsey in Hampshire.
36hrs condensed into 5.5 minutes.
The project was filmed by two static time-lapse cameras. One was attached to a small gantry overlooking the rail track and the other was positioned at ground level.
An Ainscough crane was hired to do the construction. It had a lifting capacity of 1,250 tonnes. - Фільми й анімація
Would have been nice to see the fully completed project.
You can get the idea of how it looks. Like any other concrete one.
No problem see here
What was up with original victorian built bridge.? Couldn't see close enough, was some of the lower original brickwork left that the new pads sat on either side of the arch?
That crane was a complete beast, wonder what it's max lifting weight is.
@@tinytonymaloney7832 Was it being electrified and need more clearance for the overhead cables? The old one was lower.
It would also be nice to know the location of the bridge, what line it is on, and why the bridge was being replaced. Let's have more information!
I get that the new bridge most likely has more clearance for trains, but in changing the bridge they have taken away a beautiful bridge that took great craftsmanship to build.
hu99u NWR has seen the error in what they are doing and some bridges now that would of been replaced due to clearance issues, are now being bridge jacked. This tries to keep as much of the natural features as possible. Not ideal but still much better
agree. went from Nice looking bridge to ugly one.
A university in my state (yes, I'm a " Yank") builds new structures with red brick and cement so they match the majority of the old structures (the first university building is a mason and wood structure as are a few others though shortly after they were built, red brick and cement become the standard), some of which are close to one hundred years old.
And, a much as possible keeps and utilizes the old structures.
Are you upset that modern skyscrapers are not built out of brick?
Leif Johnson well no if they was the bricks would crush under there own weight 😂
Personally I think the crane putting itself together was more impressive
Awesome vid. Throughly enjoyed watching the bride replacement.
Thank you for going to the trouble of recording their work.

Impressive stuff. Imagine if you could show this video to the engineer who originally built the bridge...
Thanks for this. We had a railway bridge replaced on our line, but they didnt video it. Very similar to this one, so i got a good idea of how it was done from this video.
The music was appropriate! I wish all road projects were this well-executed.
I can't believe they did that in just 5 minutes. WOw.
You Funny Girl
Yes they did dear
A very cool video, thanks for sharing it
Very bloody impressive.
I love that the crane had it built itself first
I was thinking the same thing.
What's more amazing is how you framed your sentence. I'm guessing you just forgot a few small words in its construction: "I love that the crane had [to build itself] first."
I like it how it says a 36 hour bridge replacement. Network rail did their bit and then it was closed for a couple of months after while the road and the banks were rebuilt. I live in romsey and it caused chaos for a quite a few months!
That may be true, but the bridge only took 36 hours to rebuild. That's all the video was about. Nothing about the other roads and banks
@@redactedrider7606 If the road is part of the bridge, and the bridge is being 'replaced', would you not expect the road to also be replaced?
The bridge replacement was done by a professional company for network rail, with penalties if not completed on time. The road replacement would be done by Hampshire county council on behalf of the residents, so they don't care how long it takes.
Top Gear showed how things can be done compared to council planning, resurfacing a road overnight when the local council planned for the road to be closed for several weeks with an 18 mile detour.
Good to watch again
Functional machines are beautiful. Enjoyed it. Thank you from Japan.
Приятного смотреть как работают профессионалы.😀👍💪
Thanks. More to come!
Less music next time please and commentary would be helpful
One of the first occasions IMHO where appropriate background music actually enhances the viewing experience!
Agreed:). All too rare!
brilliant vid
That is quite spectacular. Here in Canada, a truck struck one of an overpass supports, damaging it. That was the ONLY access to a highway on the west side of town to get on the main highway. 3 years later, still waiting for repairs.
I have not seen the end of this video yet, but I’m guessing that these guys are going to do a really good job building a brand-new bridge, making it look like for like with the old bridge and keeping it in keeping with the beautiful country surroundings that will allow it to blend in to the beautiful countryside.
Impressive!
It would be an interesting "pay off" shot at the end of such videos to have a before/after side by side and or a cross fade old to new.
Really interesting video this one :)
mind blowing
I think the cabless mid-size dump trucks are neat.
I LIKE IT TO WATCHING ..AWESOME
In the U.S.A. we need 26 ft clear to run double stack container trains.
Tunnels are the real problem in "old" countries with those. And practically all tunnels were built before container was even invented.
Jerry Kinnin. Good for you
Having the first railway in the world we (in the UK) have paid the price of having one of the smallest loading gauges. That includes Continental Europe, all countries of which have larger loading gauges than ours. They are all about 300mm (1ft) wider than ours. They are all taller too, though some are taller than others. Mercifully though, all the track gauges are the same (i. e. 1435mm, 4'-8.5") except for Ireland, Spain and Portugal all of which are wider.
Anybody else like the look of the old one better??
NO!
Yes, very much so.
That old bridge was beautiful! I noticed it took a lot of work to tear it down, so surely it was still safe. Unless of course it was a clearance issues for the trains. Cour
or maybe not enough weight to support lorries and trucks.
Clearance was to small
@@Thomas_TdK over there . the trains in the uk are so small a us sd 40 wount fit over there except in the chunnel
@@dknowles60
That's a gross exaggeration, apart from a few select bridges and tunnels on most lines, the majority of the line could be run by an SD40.
That is why these bridges are being replaced to a larger clearance.
@@thestati0nmaster579 wrong
Very entertaining
For some reason, the second song is like one from the SimCity4. Great video though!
This channel never shows the completed project...
See here then
What a nice intro
Love the music.
Who'd have thought they'd have used ants to demolish a bridge? Industrious little buggers, aren't they. Seriously, an instructive and entertaining video.
And where do you get hi viz shirts that tiny?
Fleabay...
Replaced a gorgeous red brick, probably original victorian, bridge with the most hideous eye sore ever!
I don't agree. I think the shape and finish of the new bridge is fine. The only change that I think would have improved it would have been to make the underside of the pre-assembled parapet components match the profile of the rest of the underside of the bridge. Other than that I think the new bridge looks good.
Just what I thought. Makes one weep.
COOL
That’s a great system, using the precast segments and the original abutments, they must have saved about 4 overnight rail closures and saved about 6 months build time using the precasts. To build a bridge like the Institute is a nightmare because of having to stop all the time because of trains passing and having a Network Rail guy constantly moaning ( “I work 9-5, I don’t get paid for that or I’ll stop the job if..).
@HeavyDutyTimeLapse:
Thanks. This replacement lasted 36hrs.
Hmm, the previous one probably lasted a hundred years or so. Well that's modern workmanship for you. I just don't know what the world is coming to!
The world is coming to SAFER bridges. Don't you think that reinforced concrete is stronger than 100 year-old bricks? Would you rather have a SAFER bridge or a PRETTIER bridge?
I wonder why they often leave (parts of) the old brick bridgeheads untouched and just put a concrete mating plate on top. Are they strong enough?
Excellent video one of my favourites. How long does it take to make one.
классно и красиво
Best of British; I hope the bridge sections were too!!
#greatstuff
Не слишком маленький кран привезли для такой работы?
Kinda sad how they are doing this over a railway and yet all the waste and materials have to be trucked in on countless lorries.
NO BRASIL LEVARIA 2 ANOS !
I'd imagine the cost of running a work site continuously for 36 hours, between wages, insurance, hire equipment, timing, etc is quite high. I'm also quite certain that the cost savings of using pre-built pieces and the time saved doing that as well would more than offset the increased cost of having to do this quickly, since quickly also means easily.
Network Rail - We take Pretty Things and Make them Ugly Looking. Thats their Motto
Functionality over form. If the look of a structure isn’t important then don’t waste time or money designing anything more than is required.
You're so right.
woulda been nice of them to re surface the road at the end :/
36 hours to replace a bridge, so how come Network Rail had one of the main routes into Stirling closed for the best part of last year for the same thing there?
wow.
It takes 36 hours to replace a bridge in my neighborhood too. Only those 36 hours are spread over 4 months of "bridge closed". Contractors bid and assume more projects than they can handle. Then they work on them piecemeal intermittently over the entire season. Lots of graft buys lots of jobs.
I'm sure they didn't really need to demolish that lovely old piece of brickwork.
I bet the people who made the first one would be in awe of the speed and ease at which this was deployed. Not as pretty i agree but efficient non the less
No I was wrong they replaced it with a cheap concrete bridge that will only last 50 years as opposed to the previous bridge which probably lasted around 200 years.
what happened to the rest of the bridge ????
Here in Italy this would have taken years
The 20 meter road bridge near my village was closed for two weeks for a routine inspection yet network rail laid 4 miles of new welded track past my house during the same time, privatisation is the best thing to have happened to our railways!
Diciamo 30 anni tra mazzette e varianti di progetto e idioti che si batterebbero in sedi legali perché il ponte da abbattere è antico quindi da sottoporre a vincolo.

@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 - much as one agrees with the sentiment of your comment, the part of the UK railways responsible for track, signalling, infrastructure, etc. - Network Rail - is a natioinalised company created after the collapse of Rail Track in the early naughties.
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 Network Rail is publicly owned...
I bet that bridge was at or over 100 years old
is that the reason it was replaced?
so they didn't make the tunnel any wider or larger... road above looks the same width... so what was the point?
Matt Albrecht clearance was to small
Hope there's enough clearance for 9'6" containers and catenary

Thanks. This replacement lasted 36hrs.
My friend Brittany designed it the replacement bridge
Wats with the music it was played st Ascot in 1817
fantastic stuff to watch, but that was a lovely old bridge they demolished. I don't suppose there was some way of keeping the brick and stone façades and building the new work between. it was probably all becoming unsafe. So sad. I knew such bridges as a child.
It's actually the facades, not the body of the bridge, which is most at risk of failure. It's best to replace it all in one go as it's extremely difficult to close the entire line to do the work.
J&J Cole-Warner They said do not be sad and you're not to worry, they're in a better place now.
Probably to allow freight to go under it
What was wrong with the old bridge?
36 hours to take a beautiful brick arch bridge and change it with a monstrosity, an unfinished one at that.
Better than the structure suddenly collapsing. Even railway bridges only have a life expectancy of around 100 years.
10p6, what a daft reply. lets keep this old expired bridge because it looks nice.
As said by others, there was nothing actually wrong with the old bridge except the clearance underneath wasnt great enough for container traffic so it had to go. Shame really as the old brick arches are a work of art in themselves.
The original bridge had charm and simplicity. The new one kept getting worse the more they added to it.
What a waste of time when the final item is not shown in a complete state. Did it take another year to finish it properly?
The concrete blocks seems to be anchor nowhere. In case of an earthquake, is the concrete blocks risk to move?
I'm sure that this region is not known for earthquakes, therefore there are no special requirements for anchoring.
There are no earthquakes here
No earthquakes here and everything gets 'tied' together so to speak when the earthworks are complete - this locks all the sections together as one. Very strong construction method that will last another 100 years.
The sheer weight will keep them in.place
Why do they use such small front load dump trucks? In Oz we would be backing up a full sized dump truck.
They wouldn't be room on that site for larger trucks. It was more efficient to use small dumpers instead
Вот это работа! У нас в РФ Хакасии уже скоро год будет как такой же мост ремонтируют. Деньги освоены, а работы проделанной нет
In Quebec Canada , it would take minimum 8 months and cost 30 millions ...
У нас бы пол года делали...
Good
Вивальди навсегда
why was the bridge replaced in the first place,??
i think maybe the weight limited
Clearance was to small
@@Thomas_TdK no c learance was ok. trains are tiny over there
In the USA it would take 36 months to get all that equipment out there. In which time, 3 lanes of any nearby highway would have to be inexplicably shut down and barricaded.
Plus pass many environmental studies 🙄
I don't know where they're building this bridge at but around where I live there still working on a bridge a year later and they are only halfway done why is it taking so long when they built this in 36 hours I don't understand it
We have a bridge that had a damaged support near us but it ia a motorway bridge still waiting for a replacement 2 years later its embarrassing when you see events like this that actually get a move on
i prefer the old bridge looks better?
That looks like the bridge out of the Great Train Robbery. LOL. I supposed there are hundreds of bridges that look like that LOL.
In Brazil... 36 years later... In construction. ⚠🚧🚧🚧🚧
Watch then here
3 years back in India under passeges we were doing with in 6 to 7 hours ,not daily one many, that to with out stoping the rails movement
What is this song?
What was the purpose of that exercise ?
Probably making the bridge higher, so the rail line could be electrified.
Why. ?
Why demolished such a nice bridge??
We love to demolish things in England. Every day we lose a bit of our architectural history.
the us rail roads would never put up with 36 hours
Lol! Of course not, because some invasive species might live in the area and tree huggers would demand a study be done to determine alternatives and how to coexist with a non-endangered critter!
@jujitsuman68 no it did not even take the Up rr 36 months to build the very large kate shelly bridge in IA
IGUAL NO BRASIL !! KKKK
I hope that's not the finished project cause that's a monstrosity.
why can't Australian crews be this efficient
11'8" could have it's roof raised...

In Illinois this job takes about 6 months. No i'm not exaggerating
Expertise your knowledge of civil engineering quickly!
yall use e the largest crane for a small job.
Six pest weight determines the size of the crane, not the size of the project.
Replacing historic beautiful structures with ugly concrete.
They probably had to electrify the train line it is a shame though you are right.
Yes, it would be much better to leave an unsafe bridge in place or replace it with material that is not as strong as reinforced concrete!
Leif Johnson so it’s nothing to do with making the bridge higher

Jordan Durham so bridge wasn’t Unsafe was for freight trains 👍
For the people who complain about the replacement of the old bridge. Sometimes things just have to change to make things better.
That would take months to do around here.
Here in America it would have to pass many environmental studies to even get started 🙄
@@Mboy245 Yup, and likely too many studies just to replace a bridge which already has a known environmental impact. A bridge in a new location however is where more study might be justified.
This only cost the British tax payers 50 quid. Thats what Carillon charged for the job just to get the contract. Then stuck it in there fancy brochure along with all the other blue chip companies they did work for. Mean while, back at C HQ the top execs are all patting themselves on the back whist taking home a big fat bonus. Before going bust and not paying the sub contactors and suppliers.
Michael Walker they are not the only ones doing it. Interserve next.
Yes, you take the cream off the top then distribute what's left to the serfs.
Michael Walker trop
Is that true?! Can you share a link to this story?
@@steffenfrost995 Thats how it's done. Ok so it may not of been 50 quid but it works as iv said. If you look closely at the big construction companies you will find thst 90% of worker's on there sites are subcontractors. Just because they all have the name on their HI VIS, its 90% subbies. The main staff in the warm portable office are 90% main contractor.
One company BIG company is so pissed off with this BS its now going back to small companies, even if it means that several share the work.
Doesn’t really look like u can drive over it idk.
