Ribbon Bridge Boat Transporter System Study

Abstract

The study is directed to a comparison of the relative cost, effectiveness, and risks associated with three bridge erection boat transportation systems for the ribbon bridge. The present boat transportation system is defined as the baseline. Alternative I consists principally of a one-piece boat on a truck transporter/launcher/retriever. Alternative II has a one- piece boat on a trailer pulled by a prime mover. It is concluded that Alternative I is the most cost-effective choice.
