Bridge abutments are among the most difficult and technically most demanding forming projects of civil engineering. This means there are extremely high pressures affected by the concrete liquid head and dead weight of the poured concrete. In addition a high quality forming is necessary. These great demands are not a problem for our crane handled large size strong wall formwork, due to its full range of appropriate accessories and its variability.

Concrete pouring steps of Izmir Metro bridge piers.

Due to increasing use of pretension bridge girders the spans of bridges, viaducts and elevated roadways have been increased, so as their rotation numbers. The bridge piers especially find multiple uses in this field. The superb concrete finishing of the precast girders must also be reflected at the pier structures. As a result of all these requirements high quality surfaces are obtained.

Stage 1: Column form erected and concrete is cast

Stage 2: Pier cap or support beam casting

Stage 3: Casting of the top part of pier cap (where available)
