Lindapter Clamps were Specified for The Purple People Bridge.

The purple people bridge spans 2,670 feet across the Ohio River to connect Newport, Kentucky to downtown Cincinnati. Lindapter connections were used to secure a permanent bridge walkway in order to allow access for engineers to carry out repairs and maintenance along the entire span of the structure. Lindapter Type LR clamps were specified because of their high strength capacity, adjustability and their ability to eliminate the need for drilling or welding in the field. Lindapter’s extensive project experience gained since 1934 coupled with a range of independent technical approvals provided further confidence for the specifiers. Lindapter’s connection solution enabled the contractor to simply clamp the new walkway to the existing structure without drilling or welding in the field. The clamp’s adjustability was particularly beneficial because it allowed a quick alignment of the steel before the clamps were tightened with basic hand tools to complete the installation. The Type LR clamps adjusted to suit the various sized beams and sloped flanges up to 15°, which provided further convenience and time-savings, while ensuring that the steel’s protective coatings remained intact.
