Besides, very fine (microfine) cement has been used in piling and some parts of poles in Padma bridge. These cements are imported from Australia. Such fine cement is not commonly used, bridge officials said.
A boat of equal height of 5 stored can run Steel piles under 40 pillars in the river Padma Bridge. And the piles of the two pillars on the shore are of concrete. The piles that have been placed in the river are large steel pipes with a radius of three meters, the inside of which is hollow. 7 such steel piles have been placed under 22 pillars. 6 piles have been placed in the remaining 22. And there are 32 piles below the two pillars on the shore, which have been done by pouring rod-concrete into the holes.
The floor of the Padma bridge is about 18 meters high from the river water. No matter how high the water level, any boat of equal height of five storeys can easily navigate under it.
The height of the main structure of the Padma Bridge is almost equal from beginning to end. The main reason for this is that there is a railway line through the bridge. Bridges are usually equal when roads and railways are together. Otherwise the train movement becomes difficult.
According to the engineers, the flow of water in the river Padma changes. Sometimes at the end of Mawa, sometimes at the end of Jazira. The current also flows through the middle. For this, there is an attempt to keep the navigable path at the same height in all places on the bridge.
