BALANCED CANTILEVER METHOD OF BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION

The Constructor

Special formwork is positioned and cast-in-situ pier segment is begun. The complete pier segment is then used as an erection platform and launching base for all subsequent travelling formwork and concrete segment construction. Cast-in-situ segments range between 3mm to 5m in length with formwork moving in tandem with each segment.
