case study
auxiliary bridge fabrication
The Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEx) or Cebu-Cordova Bridge is a remarkable infrastructure project connecting Cebu City to Mactan Island. Within this project, the construction of main bridge superstructures at Piers S2 and S3 required meticulous planning and innovative solutions.
To facilitate the superstructure construction process at Piers S2 and S3, the project demanded auxiliary steel structures. These structures played a crucial role in providing support, stability, and access for construction activities in these specific areas.
technical specs
- Design and Engineering: The auxiliary steel structures were intricately designed to meet the unique challenges posed by the construction environment, considering factors such as wind resistance, seismicity, and typhoon hazards.
- Seismic Considerations: Given the high seismicity of the region, the auxiliary structures were engineered to withstand seismic forces, ensuring the safety and integrity of the construction process.
The design team, led by CFC (Cebu Link Joint Venture), meticulously executed the study and development of the main bridge. The auxiliary steel structures were successfully incorporated, providing a solid foundation and framework for the subsequent superstructure construction at Piers S2 and S3.
IMPACT
The incorporation of auxiliary steel structures demonstrated the project’s commitment to safety, efficiency, and precision in constructing the main bridge superstructures. This innovative solution contributed to the overall success of the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, enhancing connectivity in the region.
