FCC takes part in the II Bridge Conference Meetings held in San Sebastian

 

At these meetings organized by the Spanish Highway Association last April, FCC gave several presentations on the state of the art in viaduct construction using the incremental launching method employing prefabricated segments developed by José Ignacio González Esteban, the Structures Service Director, which met with good acceptance on the part of those in attendance.

FCC's strategy of equipping itself with the suitable systems and technology for building viaducts of any typology was highlighted, this being the reason for its leadership in the use of this type of construction systems in Spain, especially that of the industrialization of singular bridges.

The plans and construction of the Navia Viaduct, a singular bridge with 160 m spans, using prefabricated segments, built by "FCC Construcción", were presented. This project was recently distinguished with a special mention at the 2010 FIB Outstanding Concrete Structures awards given in Washington, D.C. in late May.
