The Project
Impressions from the project process
For the 1,083 m long Trmice motorway bridge near Aussig in the Czech Republic, 59 piers were cost-effectively formed using PERI formwork.
For constructing the pier heads, PERI developed an efficient formwork solution with horizontally-positioned brace frames and VARIO GT 24 girder wall formwork.
PERI supplied two composite formwork carriages for constructing the S-shaped superstructure highlighted through its counter-positioned and changing radii. On freely rotating and transversely movable heavy duty rollers, the 22 m long PERI formwork carriage could be moved to the next concreting step as a complete unit – even along tight turning radii – without the need of any conversion work.
The striking Y-shape of the massive bridge piers is clearly shown through the use of two different wall thicknesses in the area of the pier heads.
With the PERI steel composite formwork carriage, Prague-based METROSTAV AG had a very efficient, all-purpose piece of equipment at its disposal.

PERI provided the most cost-effective formwork solution for constructing the piers and superstructure. Using the PERI composite formwork carriage resulted in considerable cost savings for us. In addition, normal rail traffic operations could be maintained during the entire construction period.
