• Abstract:
  The objective of this work is to prove a new technology system against the existing legacy skew-control technology on the Ellender Ferry Vertical Lift Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway, located in Calcasieu Parish. The new skew technology shall be as recommended in the results of the Phase 1 study. The work will include design and installation according to the following tasks: 1. Analyze the existing control system, electrical installation, and structure to determine how to interface the new technology into the existing 2. Determine the scope of work required to implement the installation 3. Perform the installation 4. Calibrate and test the installation 5. Provide support personnel and time for troubleshooting the installation for a period of 6 months.
