We present the next - the third part about the rescue of a sunken pontoon bridge in Gorokhovets. At your request, we continue the detailed story. More than a week of our efforts and, finally, we are almost at the goal, the work is nearing completion.
For those who have not subscribed to our telegram or have not watched the first series, we will bring you up to date. At the beginning of 2022, the Gorokhovets city administration contacted us. They had an emergency. The bridge connecting the main part of the city and the Znamensky Convent began to sink under water. The floating bridge consists of 3 sections, the two extreme ones are stationary and one central one is a branch. It all started with the central section, one of the extreme pontoons, began to fill with water and gradually began to sink. One pontoon pulled the next one and so on. By the time all the work was coordinated and our team arrived, all four pontoons of the central section and two pontoons of the extreme section were completely flooded. Several more pontoons were half submerged. Only thanks to the ice on which some pontoons rested, the bridge did not completely go under water. Therefore, we needed to act before the ice melted, because if the spring ice drift began, the bridge would either float away or be crushed by the ice.
