Mammoet Installs Second-Ever Walkway Suitable for 747 Mammoet has successfully completed the transport and lift of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s newest expansion, an elevated pedestrian walkway for the future international arrival’s facility. Part of the airport’s $968 million expansion, the new bridge is only the second walkway in the world with suitable clearance for a Boeing 747 to taxi beneath. Despite the various challenges of working at an active airport, Mammoet devised a suitable installation method for the 1,472-ton walkway using the accelerated bridge construction (ABC) method. With its specialized equipment, Mammoet transported and lifted the prefabricated bridge into place. This allowed for an exponentially faster turnaround time, whereas traditional construction methods would have caused significant disruptions to the airport over a prolonged period of time. The entire operation was completed over two nights while flight traffic was at its lowest to ensure minimal disruption to the airport’s schedule. The walkway was transported using a total of 56 axle-lines of SPMTs in a four-point configuration, with one set of SPMTs at each corner. Mammoet’s transport team taxied the load a total of 3 mi. down the center runway while shouldering runways remained open for incoming and outgoing planes. Total transport time from the assembly area, to the final destination between accepting V-piers was just under three hours. Once in position under the piers, erection crews took over using four 900-ton steel frames that utilized a strand jack system. This was the first time these frames from the Netherlands have been used in the United This construction project is part of the SeattleStates to control the systems Tacoma International Airport’s $968 million cables which are regularly expansion.

rerouted downward. In this case, it was required to keep them clear of the work area and ensure they did not interfere with the final weld process below. With approximately 1.5 in. of tolerance for a precise fit, the bridge span was hoisted into its final position, 72 ft. from the ground, before being welded into place. After nearly eight years of planning, design and construction, the installation has created, at 900-ft. long, the world’s longest pedestrian bridge span over an active airport taxi lane. The international arrivals facility is expected to open later in 2020 and alongside other improvements will help double the airport’s international passenger capacity to 2,600 per hour.

The theme for the 82nd Annual OLC was Working Forests: Carbon Keepers and 2020. “This theme highlights the fact that our industry, the products we produce and the forests we manage are some of the best natural carbon keepers available to the world,” OLC President Greg Stratton said. “Trees store carbon at the highest rate when they are actively growing. Once a tree begins to mature, it slows carbon intake and after the tree matures, the process reverses, releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.” see LOGGING page 10

Logging Conference 2020 Focuses on Carbon Sequestration LOGGING from page 8
Stratton’s message to those gathered at the OLC was to maximize carbon sequestration of a forest, trees must be harvested at their peak growth and the ground replanted so the process can be repealed. “While this sounds good with the modern buzz words like carbon sequestration,” Stratton said, “the truth is, this is what our industry has been doing for generations.” CEG
