Rio Wele bridge

First LCS cable crane system installed in Africa for the construction of a highway bridge.

  • For the construction of the Rio Wele highway bridge in Equatorial Guinea LCS supplied a 9 to cable crane system to transport various construction material. The climatic conditions during the projects were a real challenge, because in addition to the extreme high humidity during the assembly of the cable crane system, the installation happened throughout the rainy season. Despite everything, the project was successfully completed.
