2 E NGINEERING H IERARCHY

3 A SSISTANT E NGINEER OF S TRUCTURES Provide engineering services needed Maintenance & Construction of all Structures In house Design Calculations Requisitions Inspections and Audits Meet with contractors

4 S NAPSHOT OF B RIDGES ON S YSTEM 10,218 BRIDGES – 312.29 MILES 73.7 % STEEL 7.4 % TIMBER 18.9 % MASONRY 52 % BALLAST DECK 48% OPEN DECK 3,647 OVERHEAD HIGHWAY – 298 NS MAINTAINED

5 BRIDGE TYPES

6 STEEL BRIDGES - TRUSSES

7 STEEL BRIDGES - GIRDERS THROUGH GIRDERS DECK GIRDERS

8 M ILEPOST 78.4 CNO&TP North of UK campus Left on Sandersville Road from Georgetown Road Spring Valley Golf Club CNO&TP mainline Cincinnati to Danville

9 E XISTING S TRUCTURE Steel open deck double track simple span steel beams 2 for each rail 4 for each track Originally planned just to raise bridge Clearance below Clearance above overlooked

10 P ROPOSAL December 2-3 2012 we completed change out of this bridge and put a double track Through Girder Ballast deck bridge Limited track time 7 AM – 9 PM each day 1 span installed/day

11 C ONSIDERATIONS With all operations Track time always paramount Precast bearing block section in lieu of CIP 2 half spans for each track rather than one big Through girder with a common center girder out-to-out length of the new span - 32-feet 6-inches Each segment about 15 tons common girder span the lifting weight - 80 tons 4 pieces - increased tolerance in setting the spans able to run trains while working on the adjacent track

12 S PAN D ETAILS (2) Top half span (2) Center half spans

13 P REP W ORK ON N ORTH A BUTMENT Removed shotcrete, sawcut ballast retainer

14 P REPARING TO LIFT TRACK PANEL Rail Sawcut, crane in position

15 L IFTING W EST SPAN Rail removed and span being lifted

16 F IRST SPAN R EMOVED AND T RAIN RUNNING ON ADJACENT TRACK Mother nature did bulk of the back wall removal

17 H YDRAULIC C HIPPERS AND E MPLOYEES Preparing the bridge seat for the precast sections

18 C RANE SETTING B ACK WALL BRIDGE SEAT COMBO

19 N EW SPAN SET IN

20 F INISHING TOUCHES Spans installed on precast block wingwall raised. All surfaces treated with waterproofing
