Elgin Bridge (Singapur)

Die Elgin Bridge ist eine Bogenbrücke für Fahrzeuge über den Singapore River in Singapur. Sie überquert den Fluss zwischen der North Bridge Road und South Bridge Road an der Grenze der Planungsgebiete Downtown Core und Outram. Die heutige Brücke ist von 1929 und sie wurde nach dem früheren Generalgouverneur von Indien, Lord Elgin benannt. Geschichte Die Brücke hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte, sowohl was die Namen als auch das verwendete Material betrifft. Aus frühen Aufzeichnungen lässt sich schließen, dass sich an der Stelle, wo sich heute die Elgin Bridge befindet, früher ein einfacher hölzerner Steg, noch keine Brücke, über den Singapore River erstreckte. Dieser Steg wurde um 1819 gebaut, trug keinen Namen und wurde 1822 ersetzt. Die heutige Brücke ist bereits die vierte, die an der gleichen Stelle gebaut wurde: 1822 wurde an der gleichen Stelle die erste Brücke über den Singapore River erbaut. Es war eine hölzerne Brücke, konstruiert vom Oberst Philip Jackson. Bis 1840, als die Coleman Bridge eröffnet wurde, war das der einzige Übergang über den Fluss. Die Brücke nannte man Presentment Bridge, bekannt sind auch Namen Jackson Bridge und Monkey Bridge. Nach einigen Reparaturen zwischen 1827 und 1842 wurde sie abgerissen und durch eine andere Brücke, gebaut ebenfalls aus Holz, ersetzt. Benannt wurde sie nach ihrem Erbauer, J. T. Thomson, Thomson Bridge. 1845 und 1870 wurde sie erweitert. 1862 importierte man aus Kalkutta die Konstruktion einer eisernen Brücke, entworfen von George Lyon. Sie wurde nach Lord Elgin benannt. 1886 wurde sie erweitert und verstärkt, um Straßenbahnen tragen zu können. Diese Brücke wurde am 23. Dezember 1926 und im Januar 1927 abgebaut, um Platz für eine neue Brücke zu machen. Das Stahlgerüst aus Glasgow bekam eine Ummantelung aus Beton, entworfen von T. C. Hood. Es wurde auf sechs im Flussbett versenkte Caissons gesetzt, sie besteht aus drei Bögen mit Hängesäulen. Die Brücke hatte zwei Fahrspuren von je 7,5 Meter und auf jeder Seite einen Fußgängerweg von etwa je 1,5 Meter. Die Brücke wurde im Oktober 1928 fertiggestellt, am 30. Mai 1929 offiziell eröffnet; sie behielt den Namen Elgin Bridge. Als weitere Bezeichnungen für die Elgin Bridge sind die chinesischen Namen 铁吊桥 „thih tiau kio“ (in Hokkien) und „thit tiu khiu“ (kantonesisch) bekannt; beides bedeutet „eiserne Hängebrücke“, ferner 水仙门吊桥头 „chui sien mng tiau kio thau“ für Hängebrücke bei Shuixian Gate, wie die Einheimischen das Gebiet nannten: Tor der Wasser-Fee (Water Fairy Gate).

Elgin Bridge (Singapore)

Elgin Bridge is a vehicular box girder bridge across the Singapore River, linking the Downtown Core to the Singapore River Planning Area located within Singapore's Central Area. It was built between 1925 and 1929. The bridge was named after James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin in 1862, a colonial administrator and diplomat who had served as Governor General of Canada and India. The iron bridge built across the river had previously replaced an older wooden bridge. The current bridge that still stands today was built in 1929. As this was the first permanent bridge across the river, the two roads leading to it were named North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road accordingly. History In 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles landed on Singapore and founded the colony. Raffles issued an instruction on 25 June 1819 that a bridge be built as soon as possible across the Singapore River so that it may link a town planned for the Chinese community on the southern side of the river to another intended for the Malays on the northern side. In 1822, a wooden footbridge was built under the direction of Lieutenant Philip Jackson and it was officially named Presentment Bridge. It was also known as Jackson's Bridge and Monkey Bridge. In 1844, a wooden footbridge built by John Turnbull Thomson replaced the older bridge, and was named Thomson's Bridge. This was demolished in 1862; in its place an iron bridge was built and named Elgin Bridge after the 8th Earl of Elgin, Viceroy of India. It was widened in the 1870s. In 1925 the iron bridge had to make way for a new concrete bridge, which was opened to traffic by Sir Hugh Clifford, the Governor of the Straits Settlements, on 30 May 1929. Cavaliere Rudolfo Nolli, an Italian sculptor, designed the cast iron lamps on both sides of the bridge. His signature is inscribed beneath the lamps. Bronze plaques, each with a lion standing in front of a royal palm tree engraved on it, can also be found below the lamps. On 3 November 2008, the bridge was selected for conservation as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's expanded conservation programme. On 15 October 2019, the National Heritage Board gazetted the Elgin Bridge, along with Anderson Bridge and Cavenagh Bridge (collectively known as the Singapore River Bridges) as the 73rd National Monument of Singapore. This was first announced by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on 3 August 2019, where the Padang is included as a future National Monument.

Pont Elgin

Le pont Elgin est un pont routier enjambant la rivière Singapour, qui relie les quartiers d'affaires et parlementaires de la cité-État. Un premier pont fut construit sur la rivière en 1819 ; le plus récent date de 1929 et porte le nom du comte d'Elgin, gouverneur-général de l'Inde (1862 à 1863). Les deux routes rejoignant ce pont sont North Bridge Road et South Bridge Road (en). Histoire En 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles arrive à l'ancienne île-colonie britannique, et décida officiellement la création de la ville. Un pont reliait la communauté chinoise sur les quais sud de la rivière et les négociants indiens sur la rive nord. L'ouvrage fut reconstruit sous la forme d'un pont-levis en bois en 1822 ; il prit le nom officiel de Presentment Bridge, bien qu'il fût aussi connu sous le nom de Pont de Jackson, du nom de son constructeur, le lieutenant Philip Jackson. Il prit le nom familier de pont de Singe, en raison de son étroitesse. En 1843, une passerelle en bois, construite par John Turnbull Thomson (plus tard arpenteur-général de N-Z) remplaça le pont-levis original. Elle sera démolie en 1862. En 1862, un pont est construit en métal, et nommé le Pont Elgin ; il sert jusqu'en 1925 , est démoli et reconstruit en béton. Ce pont est ouvert à la circulation le 30 mai 1929, inauguré par le gouverneur Sir Hugh Clifford. Cavaliere Rudolfo Nolli, sculpteur italien, a conçu les lampes en fonte des deux côtés du pont. Sa signature est inscrite sous ces lampes ; des plaques de bronze sont ornées d'un lion debout devant un palmier royal. Le 3 novembre 2008, le pont a été choisi dans le cadre du programme de réaménagement urbain en vue de sa conservation.

Pergau Dam

Pergau station, formally known as Stesen Janaelektrik Sultan Ismail Petra, is a hydroelectric power station in Kuala Yong, Jeli District, Kelantan, Malaysia. It is located about 100 km west of Kota Bharu. Power station The power station is an underground hydroelectric power station, using 4 turbines each with 150 MW of installed capacity. The station is operated by Tenaga Nasional. Overview The construction, which was undertaken by Balfour Beatty and Cementation International. Construction started in 1991 and was completed in 2000. In 2003 the dam was officially opened by Sultan Ismail Petra the Sultan of Kelantan. The dam's power station was named after the Sultan as the "Sultan Ismail Petra Hydro Electric Power Station". Technical specifications Power Intake Structure - 4 bays. Spillway- concrete weir with chute and flip bucket. Power Tunnels - 4 tunnels. Underground powerhouse With 4 penstocks to power-trains comprising 4 turbines of 150MW each, 4 air-cooled generators of 180MVA each and 4 transformers of 180MVA each. Notable facts Pergau Power Station has the second largest hydroelectric generation installed capacity in Malaysia, after the 2400MW installed capacity at Bakun Hydroelectric Project in Sarawak, East Malaysia. Controversy The Pergau dam has been called "the most controversial project in the history of British aid". At the insistence of Margaret Thatcher and with the support of her Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd, the excessively costly dam was financed with the money of British taxpayers in order to secure a major arms deal, despite objections raised by civil servants in the British Foreign Office. After two parliamentary inquiries, protests by the World Development Movement and intense media coverage, in a landmark judgement the aid for Pergau was declared unlawful in 1994 in the case R v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, ex parte World Development Movement Ltd [1995] 1 All ER 611. According to Sir Tim Lankester, a former British civil servant involved in the affair, the economics of the project was "unambiguously bad" since Malaysia could have produced electricity at much lower cost from other sources.
