Inspection "Simpson Baybridge", Sint Maarten – Netherlands Antilles.

Hofman Sliedrecht B.V., www.hofman-sl.nl

I worked for several weeks on the island of Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles on request of Hofman Sliedrecht BV. and Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management). After a full inspection of the welded construction parts, several welds of the bridge were repaired and conserved for the upcoming years. This bridge is the most important gate to the Simpson Bay and also located in the main traffic artery of the island.
