New guided climbing system for viaduct Lavant
Second highest bridge in Austria rises in 2-days-cycle
With approximately 160 m height, the viaduct Lavant in Carinthia will be the second highest bridge building in Austria. The viaduct represents a significant connection for the Austrian expressway “Südautobahn A2” in the course of its expansion.
Directly aside the in 1984 built bridge, the new pylons for the new viaduct arise in 2-days-cycle with in-situ concrete. The 4.50 m high concreting steps are carried out with the new guided climbing system GCS. The climbing system - subjected to a crane, can also be lifted simply independently of strong wind. The platform is fixed on the upper end of 2 rail shaped profiles, which are guided inside suspension shoe alongside the wall. The complete platform unit can be pulled up with one single crane lift always being securely connected to the structure.
