Moroccan Acrobats Deploy "Ninja-Tech" to Inspect Africa’s Longest Cable-Stayed Bridge
Three types of Moroccan "ninjas" have been called upon to inspect the Mohammed VI bridge, the longest cable-stayed bridge in Africa.
The structure, which was built by the Chinese company China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, required the services of three acrobats. In front of the cameras, the three people gave their first demonstration of the "Ninja-Tech" method, a technique that allows the verification of high construction works and buildings without having to use heavy equipment.
According to ADM (Autoroutes du Maroc, or Société Nationale des Autoroutes du Maroc) the Ninjas in question would have undergone two years of training, both in Morocco and in Japan.
After this training, they had to pass a professional exam before obtaining the "Ninja-Tech" certification in May 2018. The first non-Japanese Ninjas in the world are therefore Moroccans.
The Mohammed VI bridge is a Moroccan structure 950 meters long that allows the Rabat bypass highway to cross the Bouregreg wadi.
