ABM Mosty designed, manufactured and installed the precast structure for a new bridge on one of the first PPP motorways in Slovakia, the R1 Selenec – Beladice. The structure has a span of 7,1m with a rise of 3,2m and is 70m in length. Divided into two separate bridges, the shorter section spans a farmer road and the longer section spans over a local waterway. ABM used the Matiere CM4 modular arch system and the casting of the elements took place in ABM’s precast plant in Banska Bystrica.
The large skew of the bridge required a new and innovative design and installation approach by ABM - thus we created a specialised end-treatment using a triangular precast concrete infill element attached to the edge of the roof and wall elements to maintain the skew cut through the modular sections. The result is that the structure is cut into the embankment and blends naturally into the embankment without any exposed concrete areas. The total time required for the installation was a mere 6 days.
BACK TO NEWSThe new intersection Stupava was opened to public on the first of August 2011. It is the crossing of the old D2 with the new constructed D4.
The rail bridge RB01, which carries the rail line over a local farm road, is in close proximity of the main structure on this section, the bridge across the Maritca river. The bridge RB01 is replacing an old existing bridge at the end of its lifecycle which was confirmed by several borehole drills samples tested in a laboratory.
continueThe road bridge carries over a 2nd class road over a double rail electrified track. The existing bridge structure was a three span bridge of precast pre-stressed beams of the length 30m sitting on in-situ columns.
