Gersbachtal Bridge, Pirmasens, Germany
Cost-Effective Access to Pier Heads
Travelling PERI UP Suspended Scaffolding
For the bridge launching process, the bearings on the pier heads must be checked and, if necessary, set in the right position during the launching of the superstructure. Scaffolding is, therefore, necessary at the pier heads to enable this checking, and ensure safe access for the crew and equipment.
While the crane was still on site for the pier construction, partly prefabricated PERI UP Rosett scaffolding was mounted on the pier heads which then served as an observation and assembly platform.
On the bridge, safe access for the crew scaffolds was made possible by freely travelling suspended scaffolding from PERI UP Rosett standard components.
A height of 1.50 m was accessible thanks to existing safety devices on the edge of the bridge called carriage units. Removal and re-adjustment was not necessary.
An identical scaffolding concept was used successfully by Bilfinger Berger for the Großheimertal Bridge. This was also part of the L600 road development scheme and involved constructing 7 piers and a superstructure using the same launching method.
