  • Upper Cut Productions was commissioned by BAM Nuttall and Network Rail to film a rail bridge reconstruction project in Reading, during the Christmas period of 2011.
    3 weather-proofed time lapse cameras were installed in various locations to capture the progress of the new bridge construction - they have taken nearly 1/4million photographs over the last 6 months.
    Following the short video of the bridge move between 24.12.11 and 28.12.11, this video reveals the full project from the bridge construction to the site clearance after New Year.
    This video is best watched at 720p and 'large screen' (but not full screen) for maximum quality.

    The bridge movement at the 1:40 mark is jaw dropping.

    5 days to replace a bridge in Reading, and get the trains running again! Amazing! Great job!

    Excellent editing, great the way you captured the "feel" of construction (from someone who has worked it for 28 years). The music is perfect and matches the video sequencing spot-on. I hope Bam & Network Rail realize what a great job you did?
    Congrats for a great job.

      Polystyrene foam blocks as a filler instead of dirt. Reduces ground pressure and is more stable in the long run.

    • @robowen11
      @robowen11 Před 8 lety +1

      +cen2s2s I would assume they are lightweight foamed concrete blocks. If they used soil it would take weeks / months of compacting to prevent settlement, so I suppose they use foamed concrete blocks instead.

    • @fredygump5578
      @fredygump5578 Před 6 lety +2

      Here in the states we call it "geofoam". My guess is they use it to avoid problems of fill dirt settling--the foam blocks don't settle. Their schedule doesn't allow time to carefully pack the soil. This product is also quite handy for making floating foundations over unstable ground. In some cases the foundation is literally floating, relying on the buoyancy of the foam to prevent settling.

    • @martingilbert356
      @martingilbert356 Před 6 lety

      I know this scheme well. The blocks were wrapped in a hydrocarbon barrier by the manufacturer before they arrived on site. The blocks themselves were very dense at 1% compressive strength they were around 140kn/m2.
