OUR PROJECTS

Richard Dudgeon, Inc., has a history of providing innovative solutions to difficult lifting and lowering projects. The projects below are only a few examples of the problem solving jacking systems we have developed over the years.

NASA PROJECT

 

(Madrid, Spain) When NASA's highly esteemed Jet  Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) required the custom design and manufacture of very specialized 1" 1200 ton load cells for its Madrid based Deep Space Network antenna within just six weeks, they contacted Richard Dudgeon, Inc.  In addition to the ultra-light, ultra-thin high-capacity jacks, Dudgeon designed a fail-safe synchronous jacking system that lifted and weighed the 70-meter antenna with extraordinary precision. Ask Dudgeon about custom hydraulic jacking equipment and large-scale synchronous systems.

 

JOHN JAMES AUDUBON BRIDGE PROJECT

 

(Saint Francisville, Louisiana) The Audubon Bridge project will include

A 2.44 mile four-lane elevated bridge structure with two 11-foot travel lanes in each direction with 8-foot outside shoulders and 2-foot inside shoulders Approximately 12 miles of two-lane roadway connecting LA 1 east of Hospital Road at New Roads to US 61 south of LA 966 and St. Francisville. Four new intersections at existing LA 1, LA 10, LA 981 (River Road) and US 61 for entry to and exit from the new roadway and bridge.

The project is being constructed by Audubon Bridge Constructors, a joint venture of Flatiron Constructors, Granite Construction and Parsons Transportation Group.

 

Richard Dudgeon, Inc. was selected to lower the 2 coffer dams with its synchronous jacking system with 48 lowering points to a depth of 40 feet at the base of the Louisiana River.

 

The John James Audubon Bridge project is expected to be complete in 2010.

ROSLYN BRIDGE PROJECT

 

(Roslyn, NY)  Project to replace aging Rosyln Viaduct now underway (NASSAU COUNTY)

In 2005, Tully Construction Co, Inc. was awarded the contract to replace the � mile Roslyn Viaduct on NYS Route 25A, which spans over Hempstead Harbor in Nassau County. The extensive New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) project to replace the half-mile long Roslyn Viaduct is now underway. Spanning Hempstead of-the-art bridge is being constructed to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and truck drivers.

 

As one of the main east-west routes on the north shore of Long Island that is used by more than 38,000 cars and trucks each day, the Roslyn Viaduct is a vital part of maintaining mobility on Long Island . Originally built in 1949, the deteriorating Roslyn Viaduct is being replaced with a structure that meets current engineering design and safety standards.

 

Richard Dudgeon was awarded the project by Tully Construction Company to assist in the removal of the existing Roslyn Bridge using a similar synchronous jacking system that was required on John James Audubon Bridge Project. Dudgeon was also awarded the contract to provide the jacking equipment for the construction of the replacement Roslyn Bridge.
