Payne Construction ServicesInc. specializes in Bridge jacking and shoring we have designed and custom built our own set up for raising and shoring bridges. Payne has developed a cost effective alternative to the traditional timber method of temporary shoring of bridges and other heavy overhead structures.
Our method of shoring reduces the time necessary for setting up while drastically reducing the costs of labor, equipment, temporary wood timbers and bracing. On most projects our system can be installed in approximately 1.5 hours per column using a crew of 3 and a small hydraulic boom or crane.
This fully engineered system provides an advantage over other systems in the savings accrued through lower labor and materials cost while significantly reducing the overall time of the project.
Bridge Jacking | Historic Bridge Repair
Here’s how it works. Each column is placed on a pad, that is specifically designed for each individual situation. The columns are then secured to the structure and a bracing system is installed that takes into account any dynamic loads imparted by winds or traffic. Once the columns are secured , the lifting can begin. The lifting of the structure is accomplished by the hydraulic jacks incorporated in the base of each column. Each of the columns is engineer certified to lift 110 tons per column and has a block off load of up to 400 tons. The columns can be used individually or in groups of any number
