Formwork for bridge built with the incremental launching method
The formwork suits to cast a 125m long curved bridge with a 1370m radius.
The incremental launching method of bridge construction is employed mainly for the construction of continuous concrete bridges. With this method of construction, the bridge deck is built in sections by pushing the structure outwards from an abutment towards the piers.
Specifications:
- Hyperstatic box girder bridge

- Bottom width 5,0m inside
- 5 matchcast segments of 25m each
- No ties through the concrete
- Casting yard with 30m long concrete beams
- Teflon sliding plates
- Stainless steel contact plates
- Full steel curved table form
- 5 sections of 5,5m long
- Steel frames to secure timber inside mould
- Full steel double-curved outside mould
- 5 sections of 5,5m long, both sides
