The Special Repair and restoration of Rabindra
Setu were taken up by The Braithwaite Burn and
Jessop Construction Company Limited in three
segments. Mainly under structure, deck portion and
super structure. Portion stringers at expansion join
locations, which were corodate badly due to seepage
of water, were cut and removed and newly fabricated
members were introduced and riveted. The other under
structure members which were badly damage due to
corrosion were also replaced. All the old expansion
/ articulation joints were removed and replaced by
slab seal expansion joints. This works were executed
without hampering the huge traffic flow. Some rivets
and members in the superstructure portion were also
removed and replaced.
