From the Beehive E 56: Concrete Change On Site

Welcome back to another interesting update from the St. Thomas Megasite! 🏗️

In this week's update, Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development takes us on-site to the rail bridge construction area. Paul, a foreman from AMICO, dives into the details of this significant infrastructure project.

Paul shares insights into the current phase of the bridge construction, including:

- Pouring of the footing for the center pier of the rail bridge crossing HWY 3.
- Using up to 35m stainless steel rebar for enhanced durability.
- Installation of 80-foot deep pilings to support the bridge structure.
- The impressive volume of concrete required for the pours, with the north footing taking 92 meters and the current pour needing 60 meters.

Paul also explains the next steps, including the construction of a pier and a pier cap and the placement of the steel train bridge on top. Stay tuned for more updates as the rail bridge continues to take shape!
