Challenges
• Reduction in construction costs
• Demanding deadlines
• Quick transfer between viaducts
• Construction over railway track in operation
• Reduction in construction costs
• Demanding deadlines
• Quick transfer between viaducts
• Construction over railway track in operation
Solutions
• Supply of an MSS, prepared for industrialised construction, enabling the operation optimisation and faster cycles
• Study of partial disassembly and transport between viaducts, allowing the transfer of the MSS without the need for total disassembly, reducing downtime
• Implementation of a security system on the MSS when over the railway, allowing construction without deactivating the track
