Challenges
• Construction on water; the equipment to be used would have to be autonomous and the supply of materials have to be done using the previously built deck
• Large and heavy deck, with complex geometry
• Tight radius of curvature on plan and variable and accentuated longitudinal inclination
• Intersections of the deck with access ramps
• Quick execution capacity

Solutions
• Equipment wholly autonomous of auxiliary means, lifting the supports by own overhead cranes
• M1-70-S with OPS System allows deformation control
• Deck load control during launching operation
• Deck extension using cantilever machine
• Complete opening of the formwork

Results
• Construction Period: 88 weeks (including intermediate disassembly and assembly)
• High Safety levels during construction
• Higher construction quality due to the reduction and control of deflections
• OPS system allowed the cast of the box in two phases, without any danger of cracking
• Continuous construction with less joints – advantage in a harsh environment (high temperatures & salinity)
