Hollywood Blvd Bascule Rehab
Hollywood Bascule Bridge Rehabilitation
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007
The location of this project is Hollywood, Florida. The Hollywood Boulevard bridge consists of three structures, including a hydraulically operated double leaf hopkins trunnion type casule span. There are a total of two bascule leaves and two sets of associated operating machinery. All three structures were rehabilitated. The project also included architectural improvements to the control house, a new gate house and a decorative balustrade.
Project Details: This project included the restoration of the bridge hydraulics system, the replacement of bridge electrical controls, building of a new architectural control house, refurbishment and upgrades to the existing control house, architectural concrete work to the approach barriers, railing and sidewalks, bascule steel rehabilitation.
I was the Superintendent, my crew and I constructed the gatehouse overanging the bascule pier. It took quite a bit of preparations from cutting out the existing pier wall, to core 58 holes 96′ deep to eroxy #10 rebar in order to pour the supporting brackets for the gatehouse, then forming and pouring the rest of the 3 story structure topping it off with a cast in place, octagon shape wall for top of structure.
We also rehabilitated about 80% of existing bridge from new Minnesota Rail, to new bascule machinery.
