Varoddbrua 2
Norway
Norway´s E18 highway crosses the Topdalsfjorden in the Kristiansand municipality on two bridge structures. Doka was awarded the contract for the new Varoddbrua 2 bridge, 654 metres in length overall and 18 metres wide, positioned between the two already existing bridges.
Challenge:
construction of a new bridge between two already existing bridges in full use
Solution:
- he modularity of the CFT permits precision adaptation to the specifics of the situation, so that traffic flow remains undisrupted.
- complete concept with planning, sourcing and logistics from a single source
- to shorten the cycle times even though the webs are 12 metres in height, pre-assembled units were used to optimise placement of the reinforcement
- enhanced safety on account of the new Hydrau-lic system V70, which operates in the medium-pressure range
