A new tunnel formwork system from Pilosio reduces the time needed for assembly. Made from standard components, this can be used for a wide range of geometries.
Peri is showcasing one of its latest contract wins on its stand at bauma 2016 as part of a focus on projects which aims to demonstrate the company’s wider capabilities. The formwork specialist recently won a contract with joint venture contractor Max Bögl / Porr on the Filstal railway bridge, a pilot project for the use of building information modelling (BIM). The Filstal bridge, which is on the new high-speed line between Stuttgart and Ulm, is one of four projects chosen by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Tr
The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel between Denmark and Germany is both ambitious and innovative, explains Susanne Kalmar Pedersen, project director at design engineering firm Ramboll, adviser to the client Fehmarn A/S. The ambitious Fehmarnbelt Tunnel - one of Europe’s largest ongoing infrastructure projects - is a priority project within the EU’s Trans European Network (TEN-T) programme. It will link the German island of Fehmarn with the Danish island of Lolland. The tunnel is an 18km immersed combined road and rail l
A variety of complex factors are involved in the production of hot asphalt mixes, with the process vulnerable to sudden stoppages of the equipment. The problems caused by a need for unplanned maintenance are high, as the cost of a plant stoppage is high. In order to minimise disruptions to production, new technologies can be used for wear components. Electronic monitoring of asphalt plant motors during production can boost efficiency, replacing corrective maintenance with preventive and predictive maintenan
