A giant elevator
The lifting section of the Chaban-Delmas bridge
is an impressive structure: 2750 tons of metal
fitting together flawlessly!
Achieving this feat requires an elaborate elevator
system, designed to use as little energy as
possible. In each of the four pylons of the bridge,
a cable system (connected one side to the span
and the other side to a heavy counterweight)
winds on enormous pulleys located in the
upper reaches of the pylons. This mechanism
is operated from the control station on the right
bank, driven by two 132 KW motors and winch
systems housed in the base of the bridge.
The total weight of the counterweight is
2694tons: 56 tons less than the weight
ofthemobile section!
Thus, in the down position, the lifting section
is held in place by this extra weight known as
theimbalance, by simple effect of gravity.
