Odisha, India
320 Ft Bailey Suspension Bridge
Constructed to establish crucial all-weather connectivity across a wide river valley in Odisha, this infrastructure project involved the assembly, cable tensioning, and structural erection of a 320-foot Bailey suspension bridge. The modular steel truss design suspended from high-tensile steel cables provides a resilient crossing capable of handling vehicular and pedestrian transit over rugged terrain without requiring intermediate piers.

| Total Span / Length | 320 Feet (~97.5 Meters) |
| Span Type | Single-Span Suspension System |
| Client / Main Contractor | Bridge and Roof Co. (India) Ltd. (B & R) |
| Status | Work Completed |
- Suspension Cable & Tower Erection : Installed main load-bearing steel wire ropes, tower saddle assemblies, and anchor blocks designed to transfer deck loads directly into the valley abutments.
- Progressive Bailey Truss Launching : Assembled and incrementally launched modular Bailey panel deck sections suspended from high-strength vertical hanger rods across the 320-foot river span.
- Pier-Free Wide River Crossing : Eliminated the need for intermediate in-river piers, preserving natural water flow and ensuring rapid, reliable execution across rocky riverbed topography.
- Precision Cable Tensioning & Leveling : Conducted calibrated cable sag profiling, tension adjustments, and pin-joint securing to guarantee deck alignment, aerodynamic stability, and load safety.
- Remote Terrain Execution : Mobilized specialized winching systems, modular staging, and high-altitude rigging gear to execute work efficiently in remote forest and riverine environments.
