Lavant Viaduct
Austria
Some 165 m high, the Lavant Viaduct is the second-tallest bridge in Austria. Due to the high wind speeds encountered here at all times, the crane-lifted Guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 system was used in order to make possible the rapid 2-day cycle required. This system is always firmly anchored to the structure during repositioning.
