Germany's longest bridge

摘要

A six-year project to construct germany's longest bridge is underway in rnthe Saale District of Sachsen-Anhalt. The Salle-Elster viaduct, when completed in 2012, will enhance the rail system in Southern Germany. rn" Part of the route for the bridge runs through nature reserves where there is no access, so much of the bridge is being constructed using complex cantilevering," said a Schwing spokesman. rnInitial concreting at the eastern end of the bridge was completed using Schwing S42 SX truck mounted concrete pumps operated by Kann Beton. Hochtief then specified Schwing SP 2800 and SPB 30 stationary concrete pumps and placing booms at both ends of the bridge so that they could 'travel' with the Doka cantilevered falsework. Approximately 200000 m~3 of concrete will be used for the construction.
