Essar Projects said it had completed construction of the Bailey bridge on the Waghi River in Anglimp South Waghi district of Jiwaka Province in Papua New Guinea, thus providing a lifeline to about 6,000 residents of Mugmamp who will now be able to access basic government services. The 54 metre long and 6 metre wide Bailey bridge was prefabricated in the city of Lae as “ready to fix” parts comprising 18 bays of 3 metre length each. These were then transported to the site, in four 40 feet containers, over a distance of 416 km across rugged mountainous terrain known for frequent landslides and hindrances caused by frequent rain and floods. On the site, the bridge was assembled and then slid over a gravel platform with the help of pulleys erected for the purpose and fitted into desired position on the prior constructed abutments. In Papua New Guinea, Essar Projects has established its position as a prominent EPC player by executing challenging projects such as Komo Airport, Kapal Haus Provincial Headquarters, Jimi High Altitude Road, Mugmamp Bridge, only to name few.
