Due to our positive experience with similar projects, we decided once again in favour of PERI. Their technical support within the framework of the tight schedule as well as the project solution using the formwork carriage and cantilever brackets have confirmed our decision.

PERI solution

  • two VARIOKIT steel composite formwork carriages for the main bridge with 13 casting segments using the back-step construction method
  • VARIOKIT cantilever bracket units in the tight bend areas
  • Project-specific special solution pressure supports on the circular piers for cantilevering on the external side
