Case Study: Tampa Skyway Bridge Portable Precision Lifting

 

Modern infrastructure projects demand speed, precision, and adaptability. Traditional synchronous hydraulic systems often require complex logistics, extended setup times, and heavy transport equipment. This white paper explores how eSync, a portable and scalable motion control solution from Power Team, delivers a new standard in synchronous hydraulic jacking demonstrated through a real-world bridge application with Freyssinet, Inc.

 

The Challenge: Freyssinet, Inc. required an immediate synchronous solution for a bridge lift scheduled within days. 

Bridge construction and rehabilitation projects frequently involve:

    • Tight project schedules
    • Confined or elevated work environments
    • Strict tolerance requirements
    • Limited access for large or heavy equipment

Conventional synchronous systems can struggle to meet these demands efficiently, especially when rapid deployment is required.

 

Our Solution:  Hydraulic Technologies expedited two eSync units and provided on-site expertise to ensure successful deployment. 

 Despite limited access, the system was transported in a pickup truck, installed quickly, and configured on location. The lift was completed in minutes while maintaining exact tolerance requirements. 

The eSync Solution

eSync is designed to address these challenges through:

    • Portability: Compact, modular components that can be handled manually
    • Scalability: Easily configured for a wide range of synchronous lifting applications
    • Precision Control: Maintains synchronization within 0.01 inches
    • Rapid Deployment: Minimal setup time, even in difficult access locations 

Results and Impact:

    • Reduced setup and mobilization time
    • Improved jobsite flexibility
    • High-precision performance in real-world conditions
    • Enhanced confidence in synchronous hydraulic operations

According to Freyssinet, eSync represents a step-change in how hydraulic jacking operations can be executed—combining portability, modularity, and precision in a single system.

 

Conclusion:

eSync demonstrates that synchronous hydraulic control no longer requires bulky systems or extended timelines. By delivering precision in a portable and scalable platform, Hydraulic Technologies is enabling contractors to respond faster, work smarter, and execute complex lifts with confidence.
