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.
