The project aimed to build maintenance free bridges, leading to the construction of two using UHPC concrete. These bridges are sleek, durable, and require minimal upkeep. They were quickly installed in a day, reducing disruptions to canal traffic. Designed by Ney & Partners, these bridges have been nominated for the FEBE Elements Awards 2022 for their innovative precast structures.
The bridges have a span of 17.2 meters, a width of 2.2 meters, and stand 3 meters tall. They feature an outer stringer measuring 8.6 x 3 x 0.075 meters, treads measuring 2.05 x 0.31 x 0.07 meters, and landings measuring 2.05 x 3.74 x 0.07 meters. Made with Extreme UHPC/UHSB premixed product and Produced by Enjoy Concrete, these bridges showcase precision engineering and sleek surface.
