The work of the bridge proper was self designed. To enable economies the span was designed as continuous span bridges. Hence 15 mts support span had to be casted as 45 mtrs in one pour.
The entire river was a sand bed with min thickness of 1.5 mtr. The cutoffwall had encountered heavy dewatering creating problems for cutoff wall concreting. The problem were so severe that precast concrete wall had to done to execute the works. In certain case wellsinking had to done in rectangular shape of cutoff wall.
On 15 Dec 1999, there was a slab collapse of a major but old bridge across Desai creek due to weakening of masonary structure supporting the slabs. Considering the urgency of the situation, a tender was floated by the PWD Department of Govt of Maharashtra by calling selected 10 bridge contractors and we were fortunate to be awarded the work despite competition from big construction cos. Our scope included dismantling of existing bridge and reconstruction of the same at the same location. Despite high varation of tide we were successful in completion of the bridge in record time of 86 days which is still a record in creek bridges in Maharashtra.
This creek bridge is about 100 mtrs from the Arabian sea as a part of Costal Road project in Maharashtra. The total length of the bridge is 60 mtr made up of two spans of each 30 mtrs. The foundation was critical and was carried out by well sinking process. The sinking of the well had to be done to a depth of 30 mtr below the mean sea level.
