Sound solutions for Germany's largest bridge construction project

Scope

Development of complex formwork solutions for the construction of a bridge

Challenge

Geometrically demanding pier construction

Performance

For Germany's largest bridge construction project, the formwork experts from Hünnebeck supplied the construction site with optimally coordinated formwork solutions.

The efficient self-climbing formwork SCF, for example, was able to contribute to a fast and safe construction progress of the reinforced concrete piers. For the piers, the technical designers developed a solution based on the crane-dependent climbing system CS 240 – in this case a combination of twelve brackets CS 240 L (light basic version for vertical formwork) and four CS 240 H brackets, which can also be used for wall inclinations of ±30 degrees with additional components.To produce the formwork for the abutment on the Hunsrück side, Hünnebeck supplied preassembled formwork elements of the stable element formwork ES 24 to the construction site, which were quickly erected onsite and ready for use. In combination with folding scaffolds, this formwork solution proved to be a particularly efficient means to construct the abutment quickly. 

This bridge construction site used special and standard formwork and was supported by Hünnebeck with a complete package of engineering planning, ready-to-use formwork solutions and practical on-site support by formwork supervisors. The comprehensive service also included that all special solutions were developed in-house and manufactured or prefabricated in the associated special formwork construction department.
