How are massive bridges built? We’ve seen how handmade bridges in Peru<\/a><\/strong> are made recently… But what about giant industrial ones? Well, in China<\/a>, they’re made in a very specific and clever way indeed. By what’s known as the ‘Bridge Girder Erection Machine<\/a> SLJ900’<\/strong><\/em> (no laughing at the back!)<\/p>\n

Made by the Beijing Wowjoint Machinery Company<\/strong><\/em>, there’s only one of these totally awesome giant machines in the world. And to see it in action is a real treat. It’s a beast! This bad boy of a\u00a0machine weighs in at more than 580 Tons and measures a whooping 92 meters long! It’s 7.5 meters wide and 9 meters in height! The BGEM – as we’re calling it for ease – is capable of carrying up to\u00a0900 tons stuff. Crazy<\/a>, right?!<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever seen anything like it, we’ll be very impressed. Or think you’re lying! Check it out, it is IMMENSE!<\/p>\n
