Rhine Bridge at Wesel

Germany

The 772.5m long bridge over the Rhine in Wesel set a whole new standard in terms of the stipulations made regarding its surface appearance. The construction firm Hermann Kirchner Hoch- und Ingenieurbau GmbH cast these fair-faced concrete services using Large-area formwork Top 50. To deal with the 15.84° inclination, the engineers fielded Automatic climbing formwork SKE50. This permitted optimal adaptation to the structure geometry.
