Hydraulics play key role in the Installation of Venice MOSE Caissons
Over the last 100 years, the city of Venice has sunk 23 cm while sea levels have risen. In recent years the frequency and intensity of flooding has increased causing significant damage. The MOSE project is intended to protect the city from flooding. The project includes the installation of multiple underwater caissons with mobile gates that can be raised to prevent water from the sea from entering the lagoon.

Quickly Removing Hundreds of Corroded Carriage Bolts with a Hydraulic Nut Splitter and Cordless Pump
Hundreds of vineyard line posts needed to be disassembled and removed. Many of the nuts had rusted onto the carriage bolt holding the vineyard trellis arms. Unbolting them was very time consuming, and faster removal methods such as grinding or torches were dangerous and posed fire hazards.

Replacing Bridge Bearings without Interrupting Traffic to the Second Bosphorus Bridge
Located on the O-2 Highway in Istanbul, the Sadabad Viaduct is a connecting motorway to the Second Bosphorus Bridge; the 19th longest suspension bridge span in the world. Approximately 400 bearings needed to be replaced on the Sadabad Viaduct while the road remained continuously open to traffic.

Telescopic Hydraulic Gantry Provides Greater Safety and Flexibility for the Transportation of Heavy Loads
Transformers, turbines, generators, and other heavy loads often need to be maneuvered, installed on foundations, and replaced during new build construction, maintenance, repairs, and shutdowns.

Pre-Loading Bridge Cables with a Battery Powered Hydraulic Pump
ALE Heavy Lift was tasked with skidding an 800 ton railway bridge over a highway using skidding equipment and steel strands. The steel strands were used as diagonals within the skidding towers and as a connection in a longitudinal direction between the skidding supports. Before the bridge could be skided onto the towers, more than 20 cable strands had to be pre-loaded to the same tension.

Placing Bridge Girders with Precise Control with a SyncHoist System
The Pacific Highway expansion project includes hundreds of kilometers of new highway between Sydney and Brisbane. Part of the project includes the construction of a new bridge over the Nambucca River. When completed the Nambucca River Bridge will be 850 meters long and will include 21 bridge spans comprised of four precast concrete girders. Weighing up to 158 tonnes and 41 meters length, each of the girders will need to be placed on bearings with precise control.

Safely Releasing Furnace Bricks from a Steel Fixture
Vesuvius processes the bricks which are used to the line the interior of an industrial furnace. The bricks begin in a "soft" state and need to be compressed, hardened and heated before they are installed in a furnace. A steel box is filled and compressed hardening the bricks. After compression the bricks stick to the steel fixture and a significant amount of force is needed to release the bricks from the steel fixture.
