The cable-stayed Gordie Howe International Bridge spans the Detroit River and ranks among the top five longest bridges in North America. NaRDil detailed approximately 1,008 tons of steel for the two 'A'-shaped bridge towers and piers.
With a total height of 722 feet, the two 'A'-shaped bridge towers are divided into lower and upper portions, known as the Lower Pylon and Upper Pylon, respectively. We provided shop drawings for the densely packed bars in Corbel sections under the bridge deck and the numerous tower legs of the A-shaped Tower.
The integrated portion of the bridge comprises three piers (the anchor pier and the side span piers), each with a complex profile, special ends, and various types of rebars.
Due to the absence of margin for error, we collaborate closely with engineers and field supervisors, engaging in manifold discussions to prevent unforeseen issues.
