This year’s foreign contributions come from the USA and Norway. First out of New Jersey is the new construction of a longer railroad bridge with three extensive steel arches over water, which are assembled with the smallest possible tolerances. Afterwards, a combined infrastructure and urban development project from Miami will be presented, i.a. containing a bridge with a very unique design. The bridge consists of six concrete arches with vertical cables that hold up the bridge decks.

From Norway we then get a presentation of the new Sotra bridge, a roughly 900m long suspension bridge near Bergen, where everything from planning to execution is handled digitally.

Regarding the Swedish projects in this year’s program, we will hear about the extensive renovation of the Tingstad Tunnel that was completed during the year and about the Lilla Lidingö Bridge from an architectural perspective.

Other program items are news and changes in the regulations for bridge construction, insight into a research project at LTH regarding the volume increases that have occurred in civil engineering in recent years and how georadar can be used to check concrete structures.
