Germany | Stuttgart
The integral, three-bay network arch bridge, which was erected during the extension of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn line, functioned as a central link for the U6 line from the city centre to the airport. This architecturally outstanding structure is self-supporting, and spans the federal motorway A8 with a length of 80 metres.
The tension members made of carbon-fibre reinforced polymers (CFP) were used for the first time here, and could only compensate for a low production tolerance. The steel construction therefore had to be measured precisely at the production works and provided with measurement points. The central section of the bridge was brought in using heavy transports transversely to the motorway, with the motorway being closed off for just one weekend. This meant that the minimally invasive disruption of traffic desired by the client was implemented optimally.
On behalf of MCE GmbH HASLINGER STAHLBAU was responsible for the whole of the manufacture and assembly of the steel structure, and implemented.
