"Fixed substructure unit" (or pier, if that's what it is) comes to mind, but I'd have to check. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-02-19 15:24:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Suez Canal bridge was supported by a fixed pier at the hinged end and was also swung by a propeller drive.
