Formwork solutions for form carrier
Leading around Brazil's capital and the metropolitan area of São Paulo, this ring road intercepts the state's main highways.

Description

Leading around Brazil's capital and the metropolitan area of São Paulo, this ring road intercepts the state's main highways. Its construction will cut heavy vehicle traffic and reduce traffic in the main arteries of the capital.

The main dimensions are:

      • Length: 700 m
      • Width: 15.2 m
      • Deck thickness: between 3.5 m and 10 m
      • Pier height: 11 m
      • Span between piers: 91 m

ULMA solution

The construction of the viaduct was carried out with balanced cantilever form carriers with heights between 3.5 and 10 m.

For its ease of adaptation to each new pouring stage, ENKOFORM with DU-100 walers and VM20 timber beams were used on the form carrier.
