Flood damage prevention

The Messbrueckle bridge carries pedestrians across its span of 31 metres. The sturdy construction weighing some 17 tons must be raised 5.4 metres in 45 minutes to prevent damage from the force of water and flotsam in the event of flooding.

The two ends of the pedestrian bridge are raised using actuators, however the height deviation of the two bridge ends must be minimal. In order to achieve this, the movement of each actuator must be carefully monitored and precisely controlled.

The software function "electronic synchronisation" allows the synchronisation of multiple actuators.
