Underslung MSS equipped with tower crane
Elbebrücke underslung MSS relocation in Germany – solution when the tower crane is fixed on MSS – Movable Scaffolding System and moves together during launching boosts span by span construction productivity and saves money.
Complex and sustainable bridge construction by Implenia
Design and build the new A14 Elbe bridge near Wittenberge.
With a total length of 1,100 meters (land and river bridge together), the new Elbe bridge of the A14 near Wittenberge is the longest bridge of the entire A14 northern extension.
Implenia, together with its partners DSD and Stahlbau Niesky, received a 100% evaluation of the technical criteria for the processing of the two planning packages. On the basis of this assessment and the overall economics, the bid of the bidding consortium, which came second in terms of price, was awarded the contract.
Environmental aspects and sustainability play an important role in the planning and construction of the new bridge. The water levels of the Elbe have to be taken into account during construction.
Henning Schrewe, Head of Civil Engineering Germany at Implenia, commented:
“We are delighted to be able to demonstrate our expertise in the planning and execution of challenging bridge projects with this contract. Winning this important contract also testifies to the consistent implementation of Implenia’s strategy of positioning itself as a partner for the realisation of complex major projects.”
Stukturas AS underslung Movable Scaffolding Systems – MSS is equipped with tower crane on it.
During launching the tower crane moves together with MSS.
This is the main cast in situ construction equipment ensuring high productivity and sustainability of Elbe bridge construction.
Stukturas MSS solution ensures continuous bridge construction when water level increases during river floods.
