Building steel composite bridges faster and with higher quality concrete carriageway slabs is possible with PERI’s new VCT Composite Track.

The system is already being used in Croatia and for construction of the new Thulba viaduct in Germany. Visitors will see a replica of the impressive project in the PERI exhibition hall. The composite track has also been named as a finalist for the bauma innovation award in the construction sector.

The VTC Tunnel Formwork Carriage and the SB Brace Frame facilitate shuttering and striking processes through the use of hydraulic units and can be moved automatically, which speeds up and simplifies tunnel construction processes considerably.

Peri’s portfolio for tunnel construction has been expanded to include special engineering solutions and customised special machines, which includes KERN Tunneltechnik.

    Modern technology is making testing more efficient and reliable, increasing productivity and reducing costs, as Patrick Smith reports A few years ago, visual inspection of an 18-year-old bridge by ARRB in Australia identified considerable cracking in the precast, prestressed deck planks as well as in the cast in situ deck overlay. Laboratory examination indicated that the deck planks and the deck overlay were suffering from a strong case of alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR). Testing of concrete cores drilled
