Moving a bridge takes hydraulic power. Making the entire system work together takes integration.
For the Lock and Dam 14 pedestrian bascule bridge project, SIT designed and supplied a turnkey hydraulic operating package that brought bridge movement, locking, and controls together through one source.
The result: fewer interfaces between vendors, improved coordination, and streamlined installation and commissioning.
The package included:
🔹 A stainless steel hydraulic power unit in a climate-controlled enclosure
🔹 Span drive and lock cylinders designed for demanding conditions, including ice accumulation
🔹 Redundant bridge controls with two operator stations
🔹 Integrated operation of traffic lights, gates, and the air horn
Before shipment, we tested the hydraulic power unit, controls, and cylinders together during a full integrated factory acceptance test.
