Record 2 1994-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

Last but not least-and apart from being a close support bridge for armoured forces, as on the Hab programme-the Leguan can also be supported on pontoons to become a floating ferry or bridge.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie (Militaire)
  • Tunnels, viaducs et ponts
CONT

Notons pour terminer que le système Leguan n'est pas seulement un pont d'assaut pour forces blindées tel qu'il est défini au programme Hab.

Record 3 1994-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

If required all three sections-the two ramps and one centre box-can then be joined together to form a 34-metre bridge, but for the full length Advanced Leguan the other ramp section slides forward over the launch vehicle cab to provide the extra space for the last eight-metre box sections.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie (Militaire)
  • Tunnels, viaducs et ponts
CONT

Pour monter une travée de 34 m, on fait glisser la première demi-travée dans la coupure jusqu'à laisser l'espace nécessaire pour intercaler une paire de caissons intermédiaires à l'aide de la grue hydraulique.

Record 4 1994-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

From the beginning the sliding bridge section system employed with the Iguana and Leguan was intended to be a highly mobile system capable of being taken across rough terrain to wherever it would be required and emplaced in as few as eight minutes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie (Militaire)
  • Tunnels, viaducs et ponts
CONT

[...] les ponts Iguana et Leguan à deux demi-travées coulissantes ont été conçus pour être des systèmes très mobiles, aptes à se déplacer en tout-terrain jusqu'au point de franchissement choisi, et lançables en huit minutes.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)

The material used is the same weldable light alloy as that employed for the Leguan system, resulting in a completed bridge weight per metre of 435 kilograms.

Domaine(s)
  • Génie (Militaire)
  • Tunnels, viaducs et ponts
CONT

La travée et le tablier utilisent le même alliage léger soudable que le pont Leguan de sorte que le poids au mètre linéaire du Festbrücke n'est que de 435 kg.

Record 7 1994-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

The process of laying the elongated bridge commences with the same procedure as for the 26-metre Leguan, except that the two original ramp sections are not joined together : they are left disconnected so that the hydraulic system launches just one section across the gap to act as a ramp, leaving a space in each trackway into which one pair of the eight-metre box sections can be lowered by the hydraulic crane of the carrier.
