The project consists of a composite bridge over River Moulouya, including the manufacture and assembly on site of the metal Beam frame of a Composite steel-concrete bridge, supported on 9 supports, including 7 Columns of 12 m in height each. The steel structure is composed of 76 main beams, each with a length between 19 and 30 meters.
The realisation of this Job will be done in three stages, Fabrication in Workshop, Erection and mounting on a platform front of support, and launch of the whole frame above the supporting piles using a system of cables and winches traction. To Date Jan, 11th, DLM performed the first run of 226 m in length and weighing 600 tons. Once the remaining 225 meters (of the total 441 meters) assembly will be be completed on the platform, the second run will move the complete bridge into final position on the column support (the total weight of the metal frame is 1,200 tonnes). At last, a vertical jacking operation will put the Steel Frame on permanent supports, allowing Main contractor TEC to begin pouring the concrete road deck. The same operations will be done a second time, for the second Steel frame of the Bridge (second lane of the motorway)
The National Highway linking Fez to Oujda is an important Part of the national Higway network of Morocco. It will extend the Existing Way Rabat, Meknes, Fez, already in use, to finally create a long east-west Highway Axis.
