U.S. launches new technology for composite bridge construction

Researchers at the University of Maine have developed a new technology for building bridges. When engineers use this technology to build bridges, the bridge arches made of composite materials can be easily transported to construction sites with bags.

The Associated Press reported that this technology has been used for the first time in Neil Bridge, which has been opened to traffic in Maine. Due to the ease of transport of the bridge arch frame, this technique is nicknamed "the bridge in the backpack."

Habib Dagel, head of the Center for Advanced Architecture and Composites at the University of Maine, introduced that when the bridge was built, engineers first cut the “architecture” of the arch into the required shape, and then inflated them, while at the surface. The resin is applied to maintain the shape, and then transported to the construction site to form a bridge arch shape, and finally the cement is injected into each "part". The whole process can be completed in 1 day.

After the bridge arch was formed, the engineers fixed the bridge deck to the arch, covered the deck with sand, and finally laid an asphalt road on the sand layer.

Hydraulic Power Tongs

Oil drilling hydraulic power tongs, wellhead tools
Hydraulic casing power tongs, hydraulic drill pipe power tongs, hydraulic tubing power tongs, hydraulic sucker rod power tongs.
The power tong is an ideal wellhead tool for oil drilling, which is widely used in the threading operation of the pipe string in the offshore and land drilling and workover operations. The use of this pliers can play the role of safety, labor saving and improving work efficiency. This series of pliers is an open type, can freely release the pipe string, and has strong maneuverability; it integrates torque pliers and rotary pliers, and the upper and lower pliers replace cat head, hanging pliers and rotary rope. The power tongs conform to the SY/T5074 standard.
The oil drilling and production wellhead mechanized tools developed by the company have many varieties and complete specifications, and have formed more than 50 series, including ZQ drill pipe power tongs series, TQ casing power tongs series, XSL rotary faucet series, etc., and more than 100 series The product structure of specifications, sales cover all major oil fields in the country as well as Europe, America, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions.
