Project Overview<\/span><\/h3>\n

This improvement project will cover a total of about 620km, separated as Phase 1 (270 km) and Phase II (350 km). <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This railway is connecting Myanmar\u2019s largest commercial city Yangon with the capital Naypyidaw and Myanmar\u2019s second-largest commercial city Mandalay.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Established in 2013, since its first project in Myanmar, the Hledan flyover, UTRACON<\/strong> has been actively involved in Myanmar\u2019s construction industry as a specialist sub-contractor.<\/p>\n

Utracon\u2019s involvement in Yangon-Mandalay Railway Improvement Project is another example of the company\u2019s relentless effort to establish itself as a reputable company which aspires to be the best in its field of engineering.<\/p>\n

The four main modes of transport in Myanmar are roadways, waterways, railways and airways. The usage of railway is significantly larger compared to other modes of transportation. However, due to deteriorating conditions and inadequate budget for maintenance, commuters taking the railway have been decreasing over the years.<\/p>\n

To improve the overall safety and performance of Myanmar\u2019s railways and the passenger\/cargo transport capacity, the Myanmar government launched the Yangon-Mandalay Railway Improvement Project, which is funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Utracon is honored to be part of the project, with the scopes of works listed below:<\/p>\n

      - CP102:<\/strong> Construction of PC Bridges Superstructure Works<\/p>\n

      - CP103:<\/strong> Design & Supply of Pier & Abutment Formwork Systems,\u00a0 PC Girder Steel Mould, Mini Gantry & Transverse Sliding Mechanism, Pretensioning Reaction Beam System, Pretensioning Work for Pretensioned PC Girder<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Phase I is divided into 3 packages with a total of 248 PC I-girders to be constructed, span ranging from 20m to 30m. In terms of aesthetic and effectiveness, pre-tension I-girder with the height from 1.4m to 1.8m is adopted.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

      Utracon is involved with two out of the three packages, namely CP102 and CP103, with a total of 176 PC I-girders.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Pre-tensioning Method<\/span><\/h3>\n

      The girder is prestressed with high-strength strands. A pair of 4500 kN solid ram jack with lock nut, fixed between the steel reaction beam structure and anchorage beam, is used to pretension all strands at the same time. After the concrete has gained sufficient strength, the solid ram jacks are slowly retracted to gradually transfer the prestressing forces into the I-girder<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          For CP102, total 3 number of casting yards are constructed nearby respective bridges. For the casting yard, Utracon supplied 2 pairs of Mini Gantry (35 tons capacity each set) with winch system to lift and shift the girder (heaviest weight is about 58 tons), within casting area and loading area. In addition, motorized sliding systems are used to shift the girder horizontally within storage area.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Precast Yard<\/span><\/h3>\n

          All girders for these two packages would be fabricated on temporary casting yards near the bridge location. In the casting yards, stringent control is taken to ensure the efficiency and quality of the girder fabrication. The main areas of the casting yard include: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

          Steel Mould<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Cost-effectiveness is derived from repetitive usage, of steel moulds for fabrication of I-girders. These moulds are delivered to the project site in modular panels and are assembled on site by using crane. Steel panels are durable, easy to assemble & dismantle and produce better quality finishes<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
