TURKEY (MSS M1-90-S | MSS M55-S) 2016-2019

Location
Kayas – Kirikale Arasi, Turkey
Year
2016-2019
Project
Type: Four high-speed railway viaducts (V7, V9, V10 and V15), total length of 6151 m (20180 ft.) (M1-90-S = 4454 m (14612 ft.) | M55-S = 1697 m (5567 ft.)
Typical Span: M1-90-S = 90 m (295 ft) | M55-S = 45 m (147 ft.)
Deck width: 12,7 m (41 ft.)
Typical Cross Section: Box
Equipment features
Model: MSS M1-90-S | MSS M55-S
Construction Type: In situ (In Place)
Type: Overhead MSS
OPS System: Integrated
Performance: M1-90-S = 14-day cycles | M55-S = 9-day cycles
Challenges
• Construction of 90 m (295 ft.) spans with movable scaffolding system, the largest of our days
• Elevated height of pillars, assembly of supports at elevated heights due to the height of the pillars
• Respecting the basic design spans
• Major reduction in the cost of viaduct construction
Solutions
• Wholly autonomous equipment lifting the supports by means of own overhead cranes
• In order to obtain the optimisation and reduction in construction time, two items of equipment are used
• Use of safe, industrialised method
Results
• M1-90-S with current cycles of 14 days, achieving cycles of 12 days for 90-meter spans
• Savings of more than 650.000 tons of materials
• Savings of more than 35.000 trucks of concrete
• Savings of more than 45.000 tons of steel
• Reductions of more than 28.000 tons of CO2
• 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
