Applications

The 2023 refurbishment of this 565 m cable-stayed bridge with two 120 m towers and 88 stay cables, focuses primarily on widening the bridge deck to increase capacity from four to six traffic lanes. This is achieved by adding external steel structures and transverse steel girders beneath the existing deck, allowing new lanes to be installed without altering the main pylons.

The intervention involves complex steel fabrication and staged assembly to maintain traffic flow while enhancing load distribution, structural robustness and long-term service performance.

Rail Baltica’s new airport rail access involves an elevated viaduct and associated reinforced concrete structures carrying the high-speed line. The railway is placed about 10 metres above ground on a 1.5 km long viaduct, one of the longest in the Baltic States. It features steel beams specially designed for this application supported on deep foundations.
The elevated track is engineered to accommodate trains at speeds up to approximately 120 km/h near the airport, carrying dynamic loads safely while ensuring continuity of service during construction.

Also called the ‘U.S. Navy Flyover Bridge’, this construction is 122.5 m long, 16 m wide and over 21 m high. It combines a steel arch with a post-tensioned concrete bridge deck carrying both roadway and pedestrian traffic.

The 2,650-tonne tied-arch cable bridge (approximately 2,850 tonnes including lifting beams) was fully fabricated and assembled at an off-site location before being transported and installed in a single operation, a first-of-its-kind bridge installation in the Middle East. It was moved with millimetre-level precision and jacked onto its final bearings during a carefully planned overnight highway closure.

‘Arc Majeur’ is a sculpture by French artist Bernar Venet. The work features two large steel arcs, the tallest reaching about 60 m with a 75 m diameter, built from welded caissons of roughly 2.25 × 2.25 m. It rests on deep foundations and was engineered to withstand wind and traffic loads while developing a protective patina.

It symbolizes the convergence of art, engineering and movement, integrating a monumental sculpture into infrastructure and landscape, to be experienced dynamically by motorists rather than as a static object.
