| The Chenab Bridge, currently under construction in Jammu and Kashmir, India, is set to be the world's highest railway bridge, standing at 359 meters (1,178 feet) above the Chenab River, surpassing the Eiffel Tower by 35 meters.
To facilitate the construction of this engineering marvel, two cable crane towers, also known as pylons, were erected on either side of the river. The pylon on the Kauri end stands approximately 127 meters tall, while the one on the Bakkal end is about 105 meters in height. These pylons support a cable crane system with a span of 915 meters, one of the longest ever used for bridge construction. The cable crane played a crucial role in the installation of the bridge's arch section, enabling the transportation and precise placement of materials across the expansive gorge. The successful deployment of these cable crane towers and the associated system underscores the advanced engineering techniques employed in constructing the Chenab Bridge, highlighting its significance as a landmark project in bridge engineering. |
