Sirhind Canal, Banga-Nawanshahr Road, Ropar
270M Steel Arch (Bowstring) Bridge
Spanning across the Sirhind Canal on the Banga–Nawanshahr corridor in Ropar (Punjab), this landmark infrastructure project involved the assembly, erection, and precise launching of a 1,500 Metric Ton steel superstructure. Featuring two massive 135-meter arch spans, the bridge is engineered to deliver high structural stability, aesthetic appeal, and unhindered hydraulic flow across the canal waterway.

- Massive 135M Arch Spans (1,500 MT) : Fabricated, assembled, and erected two long-span 135-meter structural steel arch superstructures totaling 1,500 metric tons of high-grade steel.
- Bowstring Arch & Hanger System : Incorporated parabolic steel arch ribs with high-tensile vertical stay/hanger systems, transferring deck loads efficiently to the arch rib and foundation piers without central canal obstructions.
- Heavy Strand Jack / Roller Launching : Executed complex side-by-side positioning and controlled hydraulic launching across the canal bed using heavy-duty pulling jacks and specialized track staging.
- High-Precision Curvature & Fitment : Managed geometric curve alignment of the arch ribs and deck cross-girders using torque-controlled HSFG bolting and precision welding techniques.
- All-Weather Highway Corridor Enhancement : Upgraded the primary transport link between Banga, Nawanshahr, and Ropar to facilitate smooth multi-axle freight and passenger movement.
