Our case studies

Connecting north and south Adelaïde, the South Road Superway includes a 2.8-km elevated roadway. Freyssinet proposed the balanced cantilever erection with launching gantry as the most beneficial construction method.

Concern over the magnitude of wind loading and potential for vibration that was predicted on the Bai Chay cable-stayed bridge in Vietnam led to the introduction of new, compact stay cables.

Located in an exposed offshore area subject to high-speed winds and to potential typhoons, the cable-stayed bridge had to be equipped with the most robust cable anti-vibration system and durable stay cables.

While incremental launching was the most appropriate method to construct the viaduct, it required complete rethinking to adapt to the project’s unusual configuration.

The project involves the construction of two 50m-long bridges above the light rail tracks, in non-traffic hours only, making the use of conventional erection method impossible.

A South Korean initiative to support new innovation has prompted the development of ultra-high-strength wire for parallel strand cables being installed on a cable-stayed bridge on the west coast.

As part of the design-build project for a set of precast segmental bridges, choice of the erection method was key to its achievement. Opting for the balanced cantilever erection with launching gantry made the difference.

Important savings in raw material and optimized execution planning were some of the many advantages of the alternative solution proposed by Freyssinet to build the Ihsaniye viaduct.
