Stretto di Messina
During the bidding phase for the gigantic Messina Suspension Bridge in 2005 I supported
American Bride with detailed estimate of the schedule for the cable erection by Aerial
Spinning. This project involved many new challenges and shareed many similarities with the
Storebelt project where the cables were Aerial Spun in 1996.
In addition I made general layout drawings for the spinning equipment as well as a detailed
cost estimate and risk analysis.
Some 3,300 m long and 60 m wide, the bridge would be supported by two 382 m pillars, each higher than the Empire State Building in New York. There would be two motorway lanes and one emergency lane in each direction, catering for 6,000 vehicles per hour, a double track railway for up to 200 trains a day, and two independent lanes for service traffic and pedestrians.
