In order to accommodate the expansion of Batam Island as a free trade industrial area, a master plan put in place to connect Batam Island to 5 (five) neighbouring islands, thus enlarging the Batam are to nearly triple its present size and to 15% greater than Singapore.
The Barelang bridge projects consist of 6 (six) bridges including a cable-stayed bridge, two balanced cantilever bridges, two precast segmental bridges, and an arch bridge. The largest of the bridges constructed is the cable-stayed structure which links Batam with Tonton Island. It is a three-span, symmetrical cable-stayed bridge, with a total length of 642 m and a main span of 350 m built of cast-in-place concrete.
The Pylons
It has two “A”-shaped pylons extending 118 m above the pile caps which are supported on bored piles. The navigation clereances is 39 m. The pylon legs have a rectangular hollow cross section of 3 m x 5 m x 4.2 m, and the two inclined legs are connected with cross beams below deck level and below the pylon head. It was originally intended to construct the pylon head using steel but the design was later modified for a concerete structure.
