Jauntal Bridge – Concreting the deck slab

Two mobile formwork carriages “move” section by section from the abutments at St. Paul and Bleiburg towards each other. Concreting takes place on a weekly cycle. Thomas Lorenz and his team are working on various temporary works measures for Swietelsky AG on this project. To date, for example, parts of the pier-head falsework and a cable bridge have been designed, and foundations for the assembly area have been planned. At the moment, the shop drawings for the drainage structure are being prepared, falsework structural calculations are being produced, and various inspections/acceptances (e.g. formwork carriage structure, various reinforcements) are being carried out on site. Attached are a few impressive images of this mega structure; you can find an impressive video about the construction process here: #ÖBBbauenauf Baustart Umbauarbeiten Jauntalbrücke – YouTube And here’s the webcam: Webcam Jauntal 01 – ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG (oebb.at) By the end of the year, trains are expected to be running over the railway bridge again at speeds of up to 250 km/h.
