- Freyssinet played a key role in the project’s structural design and construction methodology by supplying 1,114 project‑specific spherical bearings
-
Early in design, we influenced specifications to adopt spherical instead of elastomeric bearings, improving durability, performance, and reducing temporary works
- Integration into deck erection methodology, eliminating temporary jacks and enabling direct beam placement on bearings.
- Local fabrication of cast-in plates combined with industrialized bearing production in Italy to meet strict lead times.
- Value-engineered solutions that accommodated additional rotations and slopes, reducing site complexity and improving safety.
- Customized testing philosophy, inspired by European standards, ensuring compliance and reliability while minimizing unnecessary testing.
This streamlined installation, reduced critical‑path activities, and delivered long‑term maintenance benefits, reinforcing Freyssinet’s commitment to innovation and efficiency in major infrastructure projects.
