Description
The 40 m long and 9.4 m wide Tingo Bridge is located in the Amazonian province of Bagua Grande, on the 900 km long Northern Interoceanic Highway. This highway will connect the northern coast of Peru with the Atlantic Ocean through several ports of the Amazon River.
Structure construction was the most important stage of the Project. With 2.6 m width and spans of 15 m, these structures were erected on four 0.4 m wide and 2 m high concrete bases strategically located in the riverbed.
ULMA solution
The bridge design needed to respond to the natural flow of the river, its irregular course and to the strong water flow that can suddenly increase.
Structure construction was the most important stage of the project. With 2.6 m width and spans of 15 m, these structures were erected on four 0.4 m wide and 2 m high concrete bases strategically located in the riverbed. Thoroughly braced MK trusses were erected. As base for BRIO shoring, MK Walers were placed perpendicularly as support for the VM20 timber beams. On this grid, COMAIN modular formwork formed the bottoms and sides of the concrete beam.
