Challenges
• Construction of two parallel bridge decks identical to the ones made by the Movable Scaffolding System M45-S in its first project (Sokolov-Tisova).
• Construction of two parallel bridge decks identical to the ones made by the Movable Scaffolding System M45-S in its first project (Sokolov-Tisova).
Solutions
• Due to the similarity of the bridge decks, the natural choice was to use the same constructive method by refurbishing the M45-S.
• A safe choice proven in the past, economic and with a guaranteed deadline

Results
• Construction period: 34+34 weeks
• Fast construction
• High construction quality and deformation control
• High safety levels during construction
• The transversal movement of the machine for the construction of the second deck was an easy operation due to its reduced weight
