Arch developed a procedure to rig and transport and offload the 28m and 42m girders from fabrication to the installation site. The procedure involved a truck and jeep with a remote-controlled steerable dolly capable or carrying the 43 tonne pieces. Different factors required separate analyses and solutions including acceleration, deceleration, wind load, and turning loadings.
The girders were braced together to double the stiffness, using timber braces to restrict compression and chains for tension
