K52A VIADUCT, ROTTERDAM

Incremental launching of the viaduct along the A16 motorway in the Netherlands

The main task was to design temporary supports and technological elements (sliding bearings, side guides, pulling sticks) for incremental launching of the K52A viaduct as part of the construction of the A16 motorway in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The effect of our work is the result of unusual architectural requirements and unconventional ideas, which are in vain in other projects of this type.

In addition, we have also developed an unconventional method of dismantling and reassembling the temporary structures designed by us and we produced all the necessary auxiliary elements. We also provided qualified employees who provided solid help to our client during the implementation of the works.
