Puente Pampas
Apurímac, Peru
280 meters free across the Rio Pampas
Efficient and safe bridge construction using cantilever forming
traveller and on-site training
In 2022, the Puente Pampas bridge project was de- scribed as one of the most significant government investments in rural areas of Peru's Ayacucho and Apurímac regions. It connects the two regions, directly benefiting 14,000 residents of Vilas Huamán and Chin- cheros, and indirectly benefiting many other districts and provinces in the Andean Commonwealth. The bridge project will significantly improve transport and contribute to economic development. Doka Peru supplied the customer with a can- tilever forming traveller for the main structure and a Staxo 100 load-bearing tower for the approach span, enabling the 280-metre span over the Rio Pampas to be bridged efficiently and safely. This was the first time a cantilever forming traveller had been used in Peru. Thanks to its modular design, most of the material was reused from a project in Colombia. In addition, the CFT was extended with standard material to lift the bottom grid with the available hydraulics, overcoming the in- sufficient crane capacity. To ensure timely completion of the project, the customer also received extensive on-site training and support.
