Created launch protocol and sequence for the design of 7-girder 9-segment curved, multi-span-girder bridge.
The project included the design and drafting of the formwork for the abutments and wingwalls for a 57 m long multi-girder composite bridge.
With severe delay penalties on the line for contractors, Arch responded to this failed shoring box system with urgency and pragmatism.
Basing a design on a similar project, Arch included value engineering (lessons learned) from other projects to deliver this engineering formwork and drafting solution to the general contractor in less than 4 days.
Provided severe right-of-way constraints, a flexible installation methodology was required to leverage the adjustible shoring design (by ARCH) and make the difficult pipe installation as easy as possible.
Major energy infrastructure projects most often operate under severe delay penalties, or speed incentives. Either way, production velocity is key to the General Contractor’s success or failure on a particular project.
Asked to use an existing launch nose, and create a connection to an existing bridge design for a bridge launch scheduled to start in two weeks.
It’s not just the design of the precast shop drawings for the intended use, it’s also considering how you load, transport and unload.
