Rhine bridge Duisburg-Rheinhausen


Reinforcement of the “Bridge of solidarity”

Client: City of Duisburg

The bridge was built around 1952 and is optimized for bridge class 60/30. The pipes for district heating of the Stadtwerke Duisburg put an additional load on the construction. By removing the concrete road and flagstones the bridges dead load could be reduced. Because orthotropic plates were installed the bearing capacity of the stiffening girders could be increased. Furthermore the bridge arches with the composites and end portals could be reinforced in most areas.

Our performances:
• Pre calculations and reconcilement of constructive options
• Static verification of the detailed and approved final design including the framework
• Construction supervision for the auxiliary structure
