TTS delivers pedestrian lifting bridge to port of Rothesay
Following its design, supply and transportation of the linkspan earlier this year at the port of Rothesay, Scotland, TTS has now successfully installed and commissioned the pedestrian lifting bridge, completing the company’s involvement in the Rothesay Pier Ferry Berth Improvement Project.
The 14-metre long bridge allows pedestrian access over the northern end of the pier which separates inner and outer harbours. The bridge hinges, with a counter balance at the hinged end, and is operated with the use of two hydraulic cylinders located at each side. The ramp rests on a support in its horizontal position and is designed to be opened to a 75 degree angle to allow access for sea traffic.
The machinery cabinet, from where the bridge is operated has been installed close by and includes both electrical and hydraulic equipment. Navigation signals for sea traffic are located by the bridge.
Contractor Balfour Beatty’s Russell Rennie said: “TTS has supplied a quality product within schedule and we will definitely keep in mind for any similar work in Scotland in the future.”
