Improving access to downtown Kuwait City while reducing traffic congestion

The main challenges involved with precast segmental construction lie in the logistics and the setup process between the casting yard and the construction site.Alternatively, cast-in-place construction requires that a substructure be completed prior to fabrication of the superstructure.

The same bridge design may require completely different construction methods simply due to site restrictions and accessibility. %%EOF A well-defined material and tone library bring out the subtle design of the waterfront walls.An award-winning and unique cable-stayed bridge becomes a landmark and reduces traffic congestion in Da Nang city.This project replaced a functionally obsolete bridge on the Capital Beltway with the world’s widest draw spans over the Potomac River between the US states of Virginia and Maryland.WSP was selected to design the replacement of the Veterans Memorial Bridge (Orange Avenue Bridge) in Daytona Beach.

The BBR Network provides excellence in all categories of bridge construction techniques whether for cast-in-situ applications or precast construction.

The application of innovative technologies enables all stakeholders to visualize the future bridge and to embrace the proposed concept.

Click to open search Significant advantages of the ILM include minimal disturbance to surroundings, no falsework required, reduced area for superstructure assembly, and increased worker safety, as erection work is done from the ground.According to the U.S. Department of Transport, approximately 25% of the country’s bridges are in need of repair or replacement.

As the bridge construction industry moves towards electronic delivery of project plans, WSP is at the forefront.Bridge construction typically involves methods using relatively discrete elements, like piles and girders, which are assembled piece by piece. 114 0 obj <> endobj Since no auxiliary supports are required, it is both an economical and practical solution for long cable-stayed bridges.WSP was involved in these cantilever method projects:The highly-mechanized Incremental Launching Method (ILM) is typically performed in a series of increments. Precast concrete segments are often optimal as they can be built and stored until needed for erection, thus reducing the on-site time of large equipment and construction activities, thus increasing the pace of construction.The choice between precast or cast-in-place primarily depends upon project size, construction schedule, weight of segments, and site access.As the industry evolved, the need for a construction method requiring no falsework became obvious. There are many reasons for this rela-tively new method of bridge construction in the United States competing so well in

VDC provides our design teams with the tools they need to integrate our design models with contractor scheduling, fabrication, and the construction process.
