Manistee Bridge Project
Rail Based Girder Transport
Project Location
Manistee, MI
Project Overview
Kiewit Infrastructure engaged KEE to engineer and manufacture a bridge girder transport system to move 125 ton bridge girders approximately two miles by rail to the Manistee Bridge site.
The system used two 40-ton rail cars and one 100-ton rail car connected by a custom superstructure, providing load equalization across the cars and rotational freedom to accommodate track curvature and angular misalignment.
Custom Rail Based Girder Transport System
Key features include:
- Custom KEE engineered and manufactured superstructure
- 2 ea – Custom 40 ton KEE rail-cars
- 1 ea – 100 ton customer supplied rail-car
