Case Study: Gilbert River Bridge – Capturing Camber in Incremental Launching Analysis
The Gilbert River Bridge in Quebec (2013) demonstrates why capturing camber in analysis is critical to incremental launching. By adjusting support elevations during staged analysis, engineers accurately predicted reactions and deflections, ensuring the 4,000-tonne superstructure met both geometric and structural demands during erection.

Incremental Launching Case Study #1: Athabasca River Bridge
The Athabasca River Bridge in Fort McMurray set a North American record in 2009 with the widest simultaneous steel girder launch. Nearly 5,000 tonnes of steel were incrementally launched across 375m of the 472m-long bridge, eliminating the need for a temporary pier through an innovative jacking strategy. This value-engineered solution reduced costs, improved safety, and accelerated construction.

Construction Update: Malé–Thilafushi Balanced Cantilever Bridges Progress
The Malé–Thilafushi Link bridges are progressing with balanced cantilever construction across deep marine waters. Spannovation, as sub-consultant to AECOM India, led the detailed design of Module 17 and transverse analysis of Modules 3, 4 & 12. With 148 m main spans and no need for falsework, these segmental bridges exemplify smart, durable design for an environmentally sensitive marine crossing.
