Bay Bridge West Span Damper Replacement Project
2018-2023
CEC replaced 96 seismic dampers on the Bay Bridge for Caltrans. Access under a bridge is always challenging. CEC used 8 suspended truss platforms that stretched across the width of the bridge to perform the work on those dampers that were at the lower chord of the truss. The final phase of the project was to remove the platform. At least 3 cranes were needed for this middle-of-the-night operation, including one on the top deck, one on the lower deck and one on a barge on the water.
