An example of a new construction method: For the first time bridge piers are concreted with a special construction between two ships and not ashore. The water’s uplift carried the final concreted pier shells. Two pontoons were anchored about 40 m from the river bank and formed a floating pier construction site.
The supporting formwork of the bridge is constructed piece by piece in the classic cantilever construction method about 20 m above the water. For the first time in Austria, ALPINE uses newly developed DOKA cantilever construction carriages for the construction of the supporting formwork.
