Build
Slovenia

Krka River Stress-Ribbon Footbridge

A new construction method and specialist equipment were developed to build Slovenia’s first stress-ribbon bridge; and the first in the world with tendons installed in grouted HDPE ducts.

New build
South Korea

Saemangeum bridge’s ultra-strong cables

A South Korean initiative to support new innovation has prompted the development of ultra-high-strength wire for parallel strand cables being installed on a cable-stayed bridge on the west coast.

Repair
UK

Hammersmith innovative post-tensioning system

Conventional solutions for strengthening a critical viaduct in west London proved impractical and led to the development of a ‘plug and play’ post-tensioning system and bespoke erection equipment.

Repair
France

Barbazan culvert reinforcement using UHPFRC

A specially developed mix and custom-designed equipment now allow ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete to be spray-applied, opening up a world of possibilities for this durable material.

Repair
Vietnam

Y Bridge widening and strengthening in Vietnam

Planned widening works to an 80-year old bridge in the congested urban setting of Ho Chi Minh city centre had to be reconsidered after thorough analysis revealed the structure’s true condition.

Build
Russia

Russky Island cable-stayed bridge

Russky Island cable-stayed bridge pushed the limit for cable-stayed structures, its main span setting a new world record and demanding extra-long cables designed for the region’s harsh climate.

Repair
Greece

Rio Antirrio bridge stay cables lightning protection

When a bolt of lightning damaged the cable system, the cable-stayed bridge lightning protection had to be carried out along with the emergency replacement of one of the cables.

Build
France

The MUCEM pushes back post-tensioning limits

A complex and innovative system for casting, assembling and post-tensioning tree-shaped concrete columns was the key to bringing to life the architect’s vision for a new national museum in Marseille

Repair
Malaysia

Penang bridge stay cables replacement

Corroded stay cables on the only bridge to Penang Island were replaced under traffic – a world-first operation that was made more challenging by the lack of any redundancy in the system.

Build
Indonesia

Jakarta LRT seismic isolated superstructure

Space for a new elevated light rail system in the capital was in short supply. Freyssinet’s proposal to introduce a seismic isolated superstructure addressed this and even led to a 20 % reduction in costs.

Build
USA

Vegas Allegiant cable roof stadium

A short timescale for assembly and erection of a cable-net roof on a new stadium in Las Vegas drove the creation of a digital site management tool that saved time and improved quality control.

Build
France

ITER reactor cryostat spherical bearings

Bearings to support the cryostat chamber inside the ground-breaking International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in south west France had to meet stringent requirements.

Main cover
France

ITER seismic isolation bearings

Almost five hundred special isolation bearings were manufactured and installed with high precision to protect the International Thermo-nuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) from earthquake damage.

Build
France

Arsenal sports center connected post-tensioning

A project to install connected post-tensioning in the roof beams of a new sports centre in France was chosen as the test-bed for a system of monitored site operations which established the technology for wide-ranging data collection.

Build
Vietnam

Cua Dai extradosed bridge using Cohestrand technology

Locally-cohesive Cohestrand technology was successfully produced and installed for the first time on an extradosed highway bridge which crosses the Tra Khuc River to create a coastal bypass of Quang Ngai city.

Repair
France

Ile de Ré bridge post-tensioning maintenance

When a prestressing tendon on the 3 km-long Île de Ré Bridge ruptured unexpectedly, Freyssinet’s team had to ensure that follow-up cable inspection and replacement could be done in safe conditions.

Build
Turkey

Sultan Yavuz Selim, the hybrid bridge

The third Bosphorus crossing pushed stay cable technology to the next level, combining a traditional suspension system with high-strength cables to stabilise the bridge and future-proof it for trains.

Repair
Worldwide

CRH asset management partnership

An asset management system that can be used to remotely assess concrete silos and prioritise repairs was developed as part of a long-term partnership with materials manufacturer CRH.

Repair
Mexico

La Canada bridge carbon fibre reinforcement

A tight timescale for repairing a highway bridge in Mexico was met by the use of a new high-capacity carbon fibre reinforced polymer that can be applied by dry lay-up.

Repair
Romania

Bucharest City Hall seismic protection

Bearings and dampers designed for seismic protection of an historic building in the city of Bucharest were so large they had to be shipped to a specialist laboratory in the USA to be tested.

Repair
Philippines

Ayala bridge seismic protection upgrading

Significant savings in programme and budget were delivered when Freyssinet proposed an innovative rehabilitation scheme as an alternative to replacing this historic city-centre bridge in Manila.

Build
Vietnam

An Dong bridge’s multihole saddle

The latest generation of Freyssinet’s multihole saddle, which offers improved performance and durability, was used for the first time on Vietnam’s An Dong extradosed bridge.
