- Upper Cut Productions was commissioned by BAM Nuttall and Network Rail to film a rail bridge reconstruction project in Reading, during the Christmas period of 2011.
3 weather-proofed time lapse cameras were installed in various locations to capture the progress of the new bridge construction - they have taken nearly 1/4million photographs over the last 6 months.
Following the short video of the bridge move between 24.12.11 and 28.12.11, this video reveals the full project from the bridge construction to the site clearance after New Year.
This video is best watched at 720p and 'large screen' (but not full screen) for maximum quality.

5 days to replace a bridge in Reading, and get the trains running again! Amazing! Great job!
The bridge movement at the 1:40 mark is jaw dropping.
Excellent editing, great the way you captured the "feel" of construction (from someone who has worked it for 28 years). The music is perfect and matches the video sequencing spot-on. I hope Bam & Network Rail realize what a great job you did?
Congrats for a great job.
Thats amazing. Isn't it something what we can accomplish with the right planning and tools and man power.
gregg4164 coupled with commitment and money
Building that bridge off-site and then lifting it into place is one of the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
Amazing engineering, coordination and execution
must be one of the best time lapse's ive ever watched. Watched the Preston Tulketh road /waterloo rd railway bridge being replaced in one night .... 30 years ? ago. thermic lances lighting up the night sky
One of the coolest things ive ever seen
Man, I thought they were going to move the line to the new bridge. But then they picked up the whole bridge and moved it to the railroad! Cool!!
Amazingly well done project! It will last for decades!
OK chaps, let's do it! That was really well presented. thanks
That was amazing.
Awesome video, including the music! Shocked to hear it was composed specifically for this video! Great job!
Very impressive indeed.
A really excellent video.
Thank you.
Fascinating, not only the engineering but also the video. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool to see this done. Using Google maps street view you can see what it looks like 8 years later.
Гарна робота хлопці. Швидко та професійно.
Find real engineering here
That Mammoet heavy movement system is usually on standby to get my wife out of bed in the mornings
lol
That's Savage lmao
Legendary
so that's how you ended up in the ER Room.?
😂🤣 Brutal but funny!!
That was so cool. It is like some sort of mad feeding frenzy of giant orange mechanical birds. Well done! More please :-)
A job very well done by Network Rail. :)
Proud to have worked with bam in Dubai.
Good
superb,
civil engineering at it's best
5 days to replace a bridge and get trains running again ... 6 years more to finally sort the road out underneath it!
Want to learn more
I don’t know how many bridges I have seen that could benefit from this method.
I also realize the the planning probably took a year or so, but five days, damn.
Very impressive! And certainly a different way to pass the Festive Season!
Imagine driving through that little bridge to work for years and then it's just gone. In 4 days it's turned into a giant modern tunnel.
There is more to the story. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-16779856
Amazing...absolutely amazing
Great video Upper Cut!!!
That's Mammoet. They move time 👍
Incredible.
Hi, thank you for the feedback - the music has been composed by Upper Cut Productions specifically for this video.
Impressive! I wish we have such fast services in Poland too...
splendid job indeed
Amazing engineering.
Omg they built a bridge in 4 minutes!
madd spencer ikr
And installed it
Great work Gents
Amazing work!
Very nice work!!
ofcourse, Mammoet
Realmente não é no Brasil, muito bem feito demais, ótimo trabalho !!!
Fascinating
How many days did it take to do this task. As the man said if we can get under and lift we can move it. That I believe. Very good video. Thanks
very impressive
Excellent
Wham Bam!
unglaublich - amazing - niesamowite
@LordeStark Aqui em Curitiba, prometeram 1 ano pra construir um viaduto em uma das rodovias mais movimentadas (Linha Verde), e ja se passaram 1 ano e meio e tiveram que abrir outra licitação.
in my country something similar take 7 years. yes.. 7 years.. was a 6 month project but they encounter some main pipes under the rail way..
I always come back for the music

The project was originally part of a £425,000,000 revamp of Reading Station, Berkshire, England.
did it over the Christmas period of 2011 . . . would that be the 'Twelve days of Christmas' . .
Superb
nice video
I lov this video!!
soo cool
Last drove through the bridge on the 18th of December for the last time. Trouble is with the bridge is because of the 4x4's trying to squeeze through it. Hopefully it will cure the traffic jams
Where is that?
Were the foam blocks glued together?
I noticed water at the construction. Were they at the water table?
Muito bom ...
Who knows what those big black boxes that are placed at 2:58 on both sides of the bridge are?
where is the end of the video
Nice Vid
Nice
What was the black rectangle 'filler' blocks that they stacked at the ends of the bridge when they were back filling?
wish i could learn to do all that
Wow!
What are those black boxes they put on each side?
Polystyrene foam blocks as a filler instead of dirt. Reduces ground pressure and is more stable in the long run.
Here in the states we call it "geofoam". My guess is they use it to avoid problems of fill dirt settling--the foam blocks don't settle. Their schedule doesn't allow time to carefully pack the soil. This product is also quite handy for making floating foundations over unstable ground. In some cases the foundation is literally floating, relying on the buoyancy of the foam to prevent settling.
I know this scheme well. The blocks were wrapped in a hydrocarbon barrier by the manufacturer before they arrived on site. The blocks themselves were very dense at 1% compressive strength they were around 140kn/m2.
jak mrówki.. ludzie są niesamowici :D
2:18 is that soldier pile with h beam inside the round steel?
See here my dear
Where was that?
Gdyby to było w Polsce to przez cały filmik nie znikała by grupka czerwonych robotników stojących w jednym miejscu.
Quickest i ever saw a bridge built and I'm drunk
Now show the Ardleigh Green bridge replacement? ?? Mmm
If this was in Portugal, cars would already fly by the time the video ended.
If that was in Portugal, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
no Brasil essa ponte seria construída em 10 anos e gastariam uns 100 milhões..
lindo .. será que no BRASIL isso será possivel .... !!!
Ola, si nada no domingo dela paparazzo de hier, but blyat.
Nuo seriocomic Jimmy
Será, vc vai ver!
Expertise your knowledge of civil engineering in less time here!
where yall from?
zobaczymy jak to pójdzie u Nas.
Wonder how many years it to complete this project?
5 days for the move, less than 1 year total
I wonder what happened to the old guy who used to live under the old bridge? I think his name was Lenny.
Excellent ! Quel phasage !
It took 4 minutes, will take probably 4 years in jersey.
@Jackzera Sim, eu ouvi falar disso, tenho um parente que mora aí perto. É foda esse Brasil.
Is it in England or the United States?
Reading in England. Network Rail is the organisation responsible for British (mainland) railway infrastructure.
David Wood is it government or private owned run?
Is that pronounced Reading, like Reading, CA., or Reading like in Reading, PA. ?
Saddle Sore probably like Reading PA
IT is pronounced REDDING.
How about recultivation of the building site ?
that would like be developed, it's in the city
Awesome how they do that ❗😍
Wondering how long it really took ❓
I was expecting a bridge with a lane for cows (wildlife bridge) or something like that.
Why can’t they show the finished article a few months later when the scars have healed.
Wonder what cost was, parts & labor?
2:58 What are the black blocks behind the abutments? Purpose and material?
+cen2s2s I would assume they are lightweight foamed concrete blocks. If they used soil it would take weeks / months of compacting to prevent settlement, so I suppose they use foamed concrete blocks instead.
What are the black square things being installed on each side of the bridge during the backfill?
Polystyrene foam blocks as a filler instead of dirt. Reduces ground pressure and is more stable in the long run.
Fantástico
What state is this in?
UK, the city is reading
Tá bonito!
Great video, but what is the song playing?

impresiona el movimiento para justificar el precio de esa obra ...........no se podria haber hecho en el mismo lugar a depositar y hacer para ese transito una calle o recorrido adyacente ,y evitar el movimiento de tanto vehiculo y gasto....esas placas puestas para futuros movimientos o asentamiento , no se podrian habber hecho con mallas plasticas de alta resistencia¿?.....Y como les gusta el fierro , se podria haber evitado , ante el deterioro del material ferroso atacado por el agua ....impreeeesionante el gasto superfluo en esa obra.......QUE es algo comun ,en un mundo tan practico...
niceee
Wow
hebat banget !!!!
Where is the foundation?., I think that should have been the first topic?.
There is a large integrated RC foundation on each of the abutment walls. There is also a layer of compacted stone at formation.
I was wondering about the foundation as well. I'm sure there was one, but it didn't looked secured from any kind of movement. The trains are heavy with lots of vibration.
5 days to do the engineering, 8 years to deal with Safestore Self Storage.
