The patented system is equally valid for the execution of marine pile caps, initial segments in viaducts or situations where the clearance is a determining factor.
Using this modular system, which adapts to any geometry depending on the length and load to be absorbed, it is possible to advance without the need to form the future structure, allowing concreting or other work to be carried out without having to cut off road traffic, leaving the way open for the passage of vehicles. Assembly is carried out on the ground for subsequent lifting by light cranes to its final position where it acts as a self-supporting structure.
The structural analysis and design was carried out using RFEM 6, where all the loads expected for this type of element were taken into account.
The system was first installed on a road project in Alamo, San Antonio, Texas, where we can see photographs of the installation and testing. New units will soon be installed in other countries, such as the Philippines and India.
