Main bridge inspection – Köhlbrandbrücke

Between the sky and the port, everything is closely examined: during the main bridge inspection of the Köhlbrandbrücke, the team works at heights of up to 135 meters in one of Hamburg's most spectacular workplaces. Every six years, the structure is inspected according to the strictest specifications – from the pylons to the roadway to underneath the bridge. Cracks, corrosion, and even the smallest deformations are documented. This episode of “Port is what we do” accompanies the work and shows why this inspection is crucial for the safety and long-term operation of the bridge Köhlbrandbrücke.
