Excellent editing, great the way you captured the "feel" of construction (from someone who has worked it for 28 years). The music is perfect and matches the video sequencing spot-on. I hope Bam & Network Rail realize what a great job you did? Congrats for a great job.
must be one of the best time lapse's ive ever watched. Watched the Preston Tulketh road /waterloo rd railway bridge being replaced in one night .... 30 years ? ago. thermic lances lighting up the night sky
I don’t know how many bridges I have seen that could benefit from this method. I also realize the the planning probably took a year or so, but five days, damn.
@LordeStark Aqui em Curitiba, prometeram 1 ano pra construir um viaduto em uma das rodovias mais movimentadas (Linha Verde), e ja se passaram 1 ano e meio e tiveram que abrir outra licitação.
+cen2s2s I would assume they are lightweight foamed concrete blocks. If they used soil it would take weeks / months of compacting to prevent settlement, so I suppose they use foamed concrete blocks instead.
Here in the states we call it "geofoam". My guess is they use it to avoid problems of fill dirt settling--the foam blocks don't settle. Their schedule doesn't allow time to carefully pack the soil. This product is also quite handy for making floating foundations over unstable ground. In some cases the foundation is literally floating, relying on the buoyancy of the foam to prevent settling.
I know this scheme well. The blocks were wrapped in a hydrocarbon barrier by the manufacturer before they arrived on site. The blocks themselves were very dense at 1% compressive strength they were around 140kn/m2.
But prefabrication of large artifacts not provided for by the anti-rust and anti-slip metal walkways for pedestrians and disabled people at half height (one tunnel). But we do not even foresee the predisposition of pumps + additional pipes for the expulsion of water or a double installation of lighting and emergency lights. But neither the systems of cameras outside and inside the underpass, but neither the alarm lights at the entrance / exit, nor even a multifunctional luminous display (variable message, variable signage, etc.) entering from both sides) In essence, the underpass is not digitized on the intranet (LTE and f.o.) controlled by a remote operator on a PC.
Pumps and Pipes? Double Installation of lighting and emergency lights? System of cameras? Alarm lights? Display signage? Digitized on the intranet? Controlled by a remote operator?..... What for? It's an underpass a few meters wide. Not a tunnel several kilometers long. My 90 year old grandmother could literally walk through it within mere seconds. NOTHING you mentioned is even remotely necessary for a simple underpass. What are you talking about?
catrachocolo Listen, I say my opinion and you do not know what passive, active and preventive safety means, I will explain: 1) first of all as now the trucks with exceptional loads 5/6 m high. (authorized) cannot pass even in a single, clear way. 2) installing ferrous walkways for pedestrians, disabled people and prams on both sides of the underpass means to widen the underpass in terms of design and I do not see this criterion in the video. 2) Danger of flooding, it is fought with an additional safety water system (with submersible water pumps) to expel the water. 3) The cameras and lighting systems (useful for the lights that are automatically switched off due to the attachments) must be designed outside + inside the underpass. The point is not the length, but the safety, for example the roof slab that goes under the tracks and capable of supporting two heavy trains simultaneously, I don't think. Then redesign the entire underpass and stick to what I told you.
Last drove through the bridge on the 18th of December for the last time. Trouble is with the bridge is because of the 4x4's trying to squeeze through it. Hopefully it will cure the traffic jams

These are EPS blocks. They require no compression, which drastically reduces the sideways load the bridge structure has to carry. In addition you can tailor them to the stiffness / vibration dampening you need and they are very quick to install. Downside, usage should be limited for environmental concerns. I think at such specific spots it is reasonable to use them, but US construction industry sometimes goes crazy on these blocks. Sometimes roads are raised with EPS blocks, using a lot of that stuff.
That is awesome. Power plants polute the Earth with CO2, and then lets just build roads using freaking plastic, "modern" "alternative" to soil. One trully has to wonder whether people are completely stupid. But yeah, sure, we need it now, we simply cannot wait for that slowpoke Mother Nature.
kof ola don't be so negative about that technology. Actually cement and steel are two major contributors to the global CO2 foodprint. If you allow a lighter and durable construction using these blocks, it is good for the environment. For sure there are also irresponsible applications for this technique, like a road in Florida. They originally planned these blocks on a short section with soft subsoul, but then ended up building the whole street on eps blocks for no good reason. A waste of resources.
That is ecologism. One source of gas esencial for life is demonised, while serious polution is ignored entirely. You know, there is a high way. And they too used the plastic to build the foundation. Do you know why? Because it is modern and used in foreign countries. There was absolutely no reason to do so, so they did it anyway, because it is a modern thing to do. So it is modern to pollute the land for no reason? Plastic is pollution. Steel is about ecological and cement is eco-positives, as all kind of polluting shit is disposed off in cement kills, like used tires and bones. Bones from cows and pigs, you know, the industry that is responsible for more GHG then power generation thru methane, deferostation and land use, but who cares about that. We love a good burger from breakfast to lunch, right? So fuck you, Nature, I mean coal plants. Guess I lost my faith in this religion.
I was wondering about the foundation as well. I'm sure there was one, but it didn't looked secured from any kind of movement. The trains are heavy with lots of vibration.
true I thought so too, but if its not a mainline its pretty unlikely that there would be any demand for an extension, within the forseable future, as for the vast majority of lines, 2 track is usually sufficient

Isn't it amazing at what we can create. I really enjoy these time lapse videos. Thanks for sharing.
The bridge movement at the 1:40 mark is jaw dropping.
5 days to replace a bridge in Reading, and get the trains running again! Amazing! Great job!
Excellent editing, great the way you captured the "feel" of construction (from someone who has worked it for 28 years). The music is perfect and matches the video sequencing spot-on. I hope Bam & Network Rail realize what a great job you did?
Congrats for a great job.
Man, I thought they were going to move the line to the new bridge. But then they picked up the whole bridge and moved it to the railroad! Cool!!
Amazing engineering, coordination and execution
Thats amazing. Isn't it something what we can accomplish with the right planning and tools and man power.
gregg4164 coupled with commitment and money
Building that bridge off-site and then lifting it into place is one of the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
One of the coolest things ive ever seen
must be one of the best time lapse's ive ever watched. Watched the Preston Tulketh road /waterloo rd railway bridge being replaced in one night .... 30 years ? ago. thermic lances lighting up the night sky
Very cool to see this done. Using Google maps street view you can see what it looks like 8 years later.
Amazingly well done project! It will last for decades!
Proud to have worked with bam in Dubai.
Good
Awesome video, including the music! Shocked to hear it was composed specifically for this video! Great job!
Fascinating, not only the engineering but also the video. Thanks for sharing!
Very impressive indeed.
A really excellent video.
Thank you.
OK chaps, let's do it! That was really well presented. thanks
Гарна робота хлопці. Швидко та професійно.
Find real engineering here
I don’t know how many bridges I have seen that could benefit from this method.
I also realize the the planning probably took a year or so, but five days, damn.
That was amazing.
Great video Upper Cut!!!
That Mammoet heavy movement system is usually on standby to get my wife out of bed in the mornings
lol
That's Savage lmao
Legendary
so that's how you ended up in the ER Room.?
😂🤣 Brutal but funny!!
A job very well done by Network Rail. :)
Imagine driving through that little bridge to work for years and then it's just gone. In 4 days it's turned into a giant modern tunnel.
There is more to the story. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-16779856
Amazing...absolutely amazing
Very impressive! And certainly a different way to pass the Festive Season!
5 days to replace a bridge and get trains running again ... 6 years more to finally sort the road out underneath it!
Want to learn more
That's Mammoet. They move time 👍
That was so cool. It is like some sort of mad feeding frenzy of giant orange mechanical birds. Well done! More please :-)
superb,
civil engineering at it's best
Impressive! I wish we have such fast services in Poland too...
Incredible.
Hi, thank you for the feedback - the music has been composed by Upper Cut Productions specifically for this video.
Omg they built a bridge in 4 minutes!
madd spencer ikr
And installed it
Very nice work!!
Great work Gents
@LordeStark Aqui em Curitiba, prometeram 1 ano pra construir um viaduto em uma das rodovias mais movimentadas (Linha Verde), e ja se passaram 1 ano e meio e tiveram que abrir outra licitação.
Amazing work!
in my country something similar take 7 years. yes.. 7 years.. was a 6 month project but they encounter some main pipes under the rail way..
How many days did it take to do this task. As the man said if we can get under and lift we can move it. That I believe. Very good video. Thanks
Who knows what those big black boxes that are placed at 2:58 on both sides of the bridge are?
splendid job indeed
did it over the Christmas period of 2011 . . . would that be the 'Twelve days of Christmas' . .
2:18 is that soldier pile with h beam inside the round steel?
See here my dear
Amazing engineering.
2:58 What are the black blocks behind the abutments? Purpose and material?
+cen2s2s I would assume they are lightweight foamed concrete blocks. If they used soil it would take weeks / months of compacting to prevent settlement, so I suppose they use foamed concrete blocks instead.
The project was originally part of a £425,000,000 revamp of Reading Station, Berkshire, England.
Excellent
Fascinating
Were the foam blocks glued together?
I noticed water at the construction. Were they at the water table?
Realmente não é no Brasil, muito bem feito demais, ótimo trabalho !!!
I always come back for the music
Upper Cut Productions
What was the black rectangle 'filler' blocks that they stacked at the ends of the bridge when they were back filling?
unglaublich - amazing - niesamowite
nice video
What are those black boxes they put on each side?
Polystyrene foam blocks as a filler instead of dirt. Reduces ground pressure and is more stable in the long run.
Here in the states we call it "geofoam". My guess is they use it to avoid problems of fill dirt settling--the foam blocks don't settle. Their schedule doesn't allow time to carefully pack the soil. This product is also quite handy for making floating foundations over unstable ground. In some cases the foundation is literally floating, relying on the buoyancy of the foam to prevent settling.

Where is that?
Wonder what cost was, parts & labor?
ofcourse, Mammoet
where is the end of the video
I lov this video!!
very impressive
Wonder how many years it to complete this project?
5 days for the move, less than 1 year total
Superb
Great video, but what is the song playing?
Upper Cut Productions
Now show the Ardleigh Green bridge replacement? ?? Mmm
How about recultivation of the building site ?
that would like be developed, it's in the city
I wonder what happened to the old guy who used to live under the old bridge? I think his name was Lenny.
where yall from?
Awesome how they do that ❗😍
Wondering how long it really took ❓
What are the black square things being installed on each side of the bridge during the backfill?
Polystyrene foam blocks as a filler instead of dirt. Reduces ground pressure and is more stable in the long run.

Wham Bam!
Gdyby to było w Polsce to przez cały filmik nie znikała by grupka czerwonych robotników stojących w jednym miejscu.
wish i could learn to do all that
If this was in Portugal, cars would already fly by the time the video ended.
If that was in Portugal, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Is it in England or the United States?
Reading in England. Network Rail is the organisation responsible for British (mainland) railway infrastructure.
David Wood is it government or private owned run?
Is that pronounced Reading, like Reading, CA., or Reading like in Reading, PA. ?
Saddle Sore probably like Reading PA
IT is pronounced REDDING.
Quickest i ever saw a bridge built and I'm drunk
Anyone know what the large black blocks were? Gabions?
These are EPS blocks. They require no compression, which drastically reduces the sideways load the bridge structure has to carry. In addition you can tailor them to the stiffness / vibration dampening you need and they are very quick to install.
Downside, usage should be limited for environmental concerns. I think at such specific spots it is reasonable to use them, but US construction industry sometimes goes crazy on these blocks. Sometimes roads are raised with EPS blocks, using a lot of that stuff.

Guess I lost my faith in this religion.
Where is the foundation?., I think that should have been the first topic?.
There is a large integrated RC foundation on each of the abutment walls. There is also a layer of compacted stone at formation.
I was wondering about the foundation as well. I'm sure there was one, but it didn't looked secured from any kind of movement. The trains are heavy with lots of vibration.
What state is this in?
UK, the city is reading
soo cool
Muito bom ...
Why can’t they show the finished article a few months later when the scars have healed.
lindo .. será que no BRASIL isso será possivel .... !!!
Ola, si nada no domingo dela paparazzo de hier, but blyat.
Nuo seriocomic Jimmy
Será, vc vai ver!
@Jackzera Sim, eu ouvi falar disso, tenho um parente que mora aí perto. É foda esse Brasil.
Expertise your knowledge of civil engineering in less time here!
jak mrówki.. ludzie są niesamowici :D
Nice Vid
It took 4 minutes, will take probably 4 years in jersey.
Wow!
no Brasil essa ponte seria construída em 10 anos e gastariam uns 100 milhões..
Nice
I was expecting a bridge with a lane for cows (wildlife bridge) or something like that.
But it's still only 2 lanes. No planning for the future. Sounds like where I live.
true I thought so too, but if its not a mainline its pretty unlikely that there would be any demand for an extension, within the forseable future, as for the vast majority of lines, 2 track is usually sufficient
@@danielfield2570 I agree, you are correct.. Where I live, shortsightedness is the norm.
Excellent ! Quel phasage !
@casmirvs16 Argumenty?
Videos like this is what makes the american RR's look so sick. America RR's today are for the money. Not their customers.
