The Comansa tower cranes were used for numerous types of work including lifting heavy equipment, weighing up to 32t, to the deck during the construction.
COMANSA’S TOWERING PERFORMANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Comansa tower cranes worked on the construction of a cable-stayed bridge that joins together Cebu City and Mactan Island in the Philippines. TWO COMANSA 21LC660 TOWER CRANES worked on the construction of the cablestayed bridge that now joins Cebu City and Mactan Island in the Philippines – a location that had a variety of logistical challenges. Comansa tower cranes ensure that even the most complex bridge construction projects are a resounding success. On this occasion, thanks to the tower crane manufacturer’s vast experience and the commitment of its technical team, the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway bridge was built on time and is now operational. www.cranesandlifting.com.au
Two Comansa 21LC660 tower cranes (36-tonne version) were used to build the bridge linking Cebu City, the second largest city in the country, and Mactan Island, where the international airport that serves the city is located, This is a significant structure that helps to alleviate the heavy traffic that was experienced on two older bridges. Thanks to this new bridge, the journey time has been reduced by up to 40 minutes. This is helping to streamline commercial and industrial travel and facilitate the transportation of tourists landing at the international airport of
Mactan, which is the main tourist hub of the country. This is a key project for the region, awarded by Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corporation, a subsidiary Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, to Cebu Link Joint Venture (CLJV), a joint venture between Acciona, First Balfour and DMCI. In order to meet the specific requirements of the project, two Comansa 21LC660 flat-top cranes from the 2100 series were selected. These are the perfect choice for maximum performance in projects May/June 2022 CAL / 75
