Tauernmoosbach bridge Use of 3-D modeling for the complex geometry
The Salzburg State Government commissioned the Tauernmoosbach bridge in the Stubachtal to be reconstructed in 2011, after severe damage had been identified on the old steel girder bridge. 3-D modeling was used with the support structure planning for the complex geometry of the new concrete bridge.
Heldenhain footbridge Nomination for the National Architecture Award 2012
To replace a rather unsightly railway underpass, ÖBB built an attractive footbridge between Brucker Promenade and Seepromenade in coordination with the Zell am See Municipality.
In collaboration with the Hasenauer Architect’s Office, Baucon ZT GmbH is designing and building the bridge from the first draft up to the detailed steel structure drawings.
The installationt of the almost 40-meter long bridge support structure had to be put up during a short period at night when the tracks were blocked and required a great deal of detailed design and preparation.
Egg-Graben Bridge
The method of pure prestressing without mild steel reinforcement
was applied for the superstructure of the Egg-Graben Bridge which is
situated in the valley of Großarl in the province of Salzburg, Austria.
The bridge with a length of 50m is designed as an arch bridge in
order to take advantage of the existing rocky subsoil on the
construction site. Furthermore, a special shape for the arch was
chosen in order to account for the horizontal curvature (radius of
50m) of the bridge girder. In the planning process strong emphasis
was placed on a slim design. After a construction period of 18
months the bridge was opened to traffic in November 2009.
