Tunnel approach for the A26 Danube Bridge, Linz, Austria

The A26 project stands out on account of its five different tunnel cross-sections. In addition, the bends feature tight radii of 50 m to 750 m and the tunnel gradients vary, making it difficult to implement the new transport network.
To construct the 1,600-m-long access tunnel, PERI engineers developed the first customised and fully hydraulic special-purpose formwork carriage. This alone was sufficient to construct the different cross-sections in a total of 170 concreting sections.
Given the fact that the very tight curve radii made it difficult to transport the tunnel carriage, an innovative caterpillar system was used to move it.
The innovative caterpillar system has impressive dimensions of 8.07 m in height and 14.50 m in length, not to mention 10.70 m in width when ready to move and 11.20 m in width when ready to pour concrete.
The first concreting section was successfully completed in mid-November 2021. The formwork was stripped the following day and the formwork carriage moved forward to the second concreting section.
Before the tunnel formwork carriage was called upon, a mobile 6-m-long assembly carriage with rubber tyres and electric motor was used for the sealing work. This was followed by a reinforcement carriage adapted to the block length of 12 m, the principle of which is similar to the sealing carriage.
Engineers from PERI Austria and the PERI Infrastructure Sales Support Unit worked together to develop a tailored and innovative project solution.

プロジェクト情報

ロケーション: Linz, オーストリア

  • The A26 Danube Bridge construction project is one of the most important infrastructure projects in the Austrian city of Linz and the surrounding area as the city looks to ease congestion on its transport network
  • PERI assisted with the construction of the 1,600-m-long access tunnels for the new A26 suspension bridge over the Danube
  • A large section of the tunnel runs underground so that the noise and pollution in the urban area are reduced to an even greater extent
  • Construction of five different tunnel cross-sections with profile transitions and tight radii of between 50 m and 750 m in the bends as well as varying gradients 

現場でのニーズ

  • Solution-oriented and collaborative working methods with a concept that results in the greatest possible degree of optimisation
  • Construction work included very tight bend radii and varying tunnel gradients
  • Strict construction schedule
  • High demands on occupational safety

Due to the complex geometric conditions as well as other challenging constraints, during the tendering process we were looking for a concept that would result in as much optimisation as possible. PERI was intensively involved as early as the planning stage, providing solution-oriented input. When it came to the operational implementation stage, there was constant communication between the parties, which meant that the formwork systems could be used in the optimum manner on the construction site.

提案内容

  • Austria’s first customised and fully hydraulic special-purpose steel formwork carriage was developed, featuring a caterpillar drive and weighing 250 t
  • Dimensions of the formwork carriage: 8.07 m high and 14.50 m long, not to mention 10.70 m wide when ready to move and 11.20 m wide when ready to pour concrete.
  • An innovative caterpillar system was used to move the formwork carriage due to the tight bend radii
  • Only one formwork carriage was required to produce the different cross-sections in a total of 170 concreting sections
  • Extensive project support from PERI engineers with solution-oriented planning input and continuous dialogue between the project managers
  • The formwork carriage was assembled in front of the tunnel entrance under the guidance of a PERI supervisor
  • A mobile, 6-m-long assembly carriage with rubber tyres and electric motor was used for the sealing work
  • This was followed by a reinforcement carriage adapted to the block length of 12 m, the principle of which is similar to the sealing carriage. Both carriages consisted of a stable VARIOKIT base frame on which a PERI UP scaffold, adapted to the cross-sections, was erected
  • This PERI UP scaffold was used as a work platform
