Stainless Steel Hollow Bar and Mesh Stabilizes Failing Slopes at Severn Estuary The Severn Estuary's frequent slope failures had caused significant disruptions to the Newport to Gloucester rail line, a key route connecting South Wales with North England. DYWIDAG supplied geotechnical materials to stabilize the slopes and prevent future closures and accidents. Context The Newport to Gloucester rail line is essential for passenger and freight traffic but has faced repeated disruptions due to slope collapses in the Severn Estuary area. In the winter of 2021, four collapses led to closures, highlighting the need for a permanent solution. Solution DYWIDAG developed a solution to stabilize the slopes, some of which reach 37m in height. The solution included installing soil nails, stainless steel mesh, and surface cover. Using stainless steel bars and mesh extended the lifespan from 60 to 120 years, minimizing future maintenance needs. The hollow bar option reduced drilling costs and time on-site, which helped minimize traffic disruptions. DYWIDAG supplied QTS with the necessary materials, including grade 316 R32-360 stainless steel hollow bars, DYWIDAG EYY drill bits, and stainless steel mesh. Abseil teams and rigs completed the installation, using air flush and secondary grouting for drilling. The project was completed on time and within budget, successfully securing the slopes.

Critical Rail Temperature Monitoring on the West Coast Mainline The West Coast Main Line (WCML), a vital UK railway connecting major cities like London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, requires constant monitoring to ensure safe and continuous service. Context Due to extreme temperatures, monitoring rail temperatures during warmer months is essential to prevent rail buckling. Historically, this was done manually, with staff sent out to take live readings during high-risk weather events. Solution DYWIDAG developed the SmartTemp system, installed around the web of the rail, allowing for remote monitoring, alerting, and trending via a web login page. This system allows Network Rail (NR) to view live rail temperatures and adjust trigger temperatures via a simple phone call or email. Stuart Gordon of Network Rail noted, “What makes a difference to us is the ability to log in and view live rail temps, sending staff out only when absolutely necessary.” The West Coast maintenance team uses SmartTemp’s sensors daily, managing track safety and usage in high-risk areas. The system provides real-time data, reducing the need for operatives on live tracks and offering a comprehensive view of track conditions for safer operations.

Road project

Challenging Embankment Stabilization at Callow Hill Rail Cutting DYWIDAG provided an effective solution to stabilize an embankment at Callow Hill Rail Cutting, supporting the busy Swindon to Bristol rail line, amid challenging weather and site conditions. Context The embankment at Callow Hill Rail Cutting, located in Wiltshire, was unstable and failing, threatening the twin-track rail line. A slope stability analysis revealed the presence of cohesive soils with underlying sands and gravels. The project faced extreme weather disruptions, including hurricane-force winds from tropical storm ‘Barra,’ and required additional resources. Difficult drilling conditions, a narrow access mat, and coordination with other contractors added complexity. All work was to be carried out under rail possessions (temporary closures for maintenance). Solution A steel piled wall, combined with DYWIDAG Dywi Drill Tension Piles, was selected as the most effective solution. The retaining wall and anchoring system were installed over two weekend rail blockades. Universal Piling Ltd, DYWIDAG's specialist contractor, installed the piles using an RTG 19T telescopic leader rig, supported by a 100-ton tracked crane. The tension anchors, 18 meters long and galvanised, were installed using a Ripamonti soil nailing mast. A total of 84 tension ground anchors were added. Outcome Despite disruptions caused by Storm Barra, the project was completed on time, with all 168 sheet piles installed successfully. Richard Edlington, Programme Manager at Network Rail, commended the team's perseverance, and Francis McGarry, Investment Director, emphasized the leadership in overcoming real-world challenges to deliver the project for passengers.

DYWIDAG Consolidates Monopile Foundations at Amrumbank West Offshore Wind Park DYWIDAG successfully provided and installed post-tensioning systems to stabilize monopile foundations at the Amrumbank West wind park, addressing damage caused during the construction process. Challenge Amrumbank West, located 35 km north of Helgoland, consists of 80 wind towers and is situated in water depths of 20-25 meters. Each turbine generates 3.6 MW, providing energy to up to 300,000 households. During the installation of two monopile foundations, damage occurred at the construction joints between the lower and upper sections of the foundations. This required intervention to restore the full load-bearing capacity of these joints. Solution DYWIDAG deployed 52 Wire EX Tendons for each of the damaged monopile foundations, each 13.3 meters long, and installed them across the construction joints. The tendons were post-tensioned with a load of 4,000 kN per tendon to restore the load capacity of the joints. The tendons, totaling 35 tons, were prefabricated and adapted for the project in DYWIDAG’s facility in Langenfeld, Germany. Additional reinforcement was integrated into the anchorage area, which streamlined assembly on-site and reduced setup time. To protect against corrosion, the tendons’ sheathing was filled with a corrosion protection compound. This ensured no seawater could reach the tendons, and the same protection was applied during transportation across the North Sea. Due to the remote offshore site, additional jacks and hydraulic pumps were deployed to minimize delays. Some tendons were also equipped with DYNA Force® Sensors for precise monitoring. Outcome Despite the challenging working conditions and limited space, the project was completed successfully, restoring the structural integrity of the monopile foundations and contributing to the continued operation of the wind park.

DYWIDAG Stabilizes Huge Open Pit Mine with Soil Nails DYWIDAG provided key materials for stabilizing the steep slopes of the former Mina de Águas Claras mine in Brazil, ensuring safety and enabling future use of the site. Challenge Mina de Águas Claras, an iron ore mine in Minas Gerais, was closed in 2002 after extracting 300 million tons of ore. The deep pit, now partially filled with water, posed significant safety risks due to steep slopes prone to erosion and landslides. A 1992 landslide and ongoing erosion made the area dangerous, especially given its proximity to a densely populated region. Rehabilitation efforts had been delayed for years, but in 2013, Vale decided to stabilize the slopes. Solution DYWIDAG’s solution involved the stabilization of the highest portion of the western pit. The process began in 2014 with the removal of loose soil and the installation of a drainage system to prevent further erosion. The stabilization work was carried out step-by-step, starting from the top down. To secure the high-strength steel mesh used for slope stabilization, DYWIDAG provided 47,535 meters of GEWI Soil Nails, each 32mm in diameter and made from GR 50/55 steel. These soil nails were installed into the stable strata beneath the slope, anchoring the steel mesh. The soil nails, along with 7,310 nuts, ensured the safe installation of the mesh, which was then covered with vegetation to further protect the area. Outcome The successful stabilization project minimized the risk of landslides and erosion, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area and paving the way for the future development of the site.

DYWIDAG Develops Modern Testing Method for Structural Repair of Westpoint Dam After corrosion caused tendon failures, DYWIDAG was contracted to develop a new, more reliable tendon testing method to ensure the safety of Westpoint and Robert F. Henry dams. Challenge In the 1960s, the US Army Corps of Engineers used high-strength smooth steel tendons for trunnion girder anchorages in dams. These tendons were difficult to inspect and repair, as they lacked threads for standard testing. Following tendon failures due to corrosion, a more accurate testing method was needed. Solution DYWIDAG was contracted to perform lift-off tests to determine the tension force of the existing tendons. Using a specially developed gripping device, DYWIDAG engineers conducted load tests at a mock-up facility and tested the tendons at both dams, even in hard-to-reach areas. Out of 852 tendons at both dams, DYWIDAG successfully tested 216 tendons, providing essential data that helped the Army Corps assess the dams' condition and make informed safety decisions. Outcome DYWIDAG’s testing allowed for the identification of potential issues, ensuring the safety of the dams and enabling the Army Corps to plan necessary repairs.

Bridge project

Precision Measuring Instrument for Stay Cable Bridge Repair The Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge underwent cable and damper system repairs after 15 years of service. DYWIDAG’s state-of-the-art precision measuring technology enabled the successful retrofit. Background: Originally built (1953-1954), the old Talmadge Bridge was replaced with a new cable-stayed bridge in 1991 to accommodate larger vessels. The bridge features a 185 ft (311m) vertical clearance at high tide and 1,023 ft (56m) horizontal clearance. Problem & Challenges: Urethane dampeners, placed at the base and top of each cable, suffered from continuous vibration, causing them to loosen over time. Due to temperature variations, both the cables and deck expand and contract, making damper placement highly complex. Retrofit difficulty: The new dampeners had to fit within the existing exit pipe geometry, requiring extreme precision. DYWIDAG’s Solution & Innovation: State-of-the-art measuring instruments and reverse engineering software enabled precise data collection. Robotic arms measured down to one-thousandth of an inch, ensuring exact damper fit. A 3D model was generated based on real-time measurements for fabrication and installation. Results & Impact: New dampeners were fabricated and installed within just one week. DYWIDAG’s advanced technology streamlined the measurement, production, and installation process. The Talmadge Memorial Bridge’s stability was restored, extending its service life and ensuring safe operation. This project demonstrated cutting-edge precision engineering, reinforcing DYWIDAG’s expertise in structural rehabilitation.

Building project

In our country, the Baku Tower is one of the projects where an earthquake and wind protection system has been implemented. The 277 m high Baku Tower project is the tallest building in not only Azerbaijan but also the entire Caucasus. The specifics of our city, known as the City of Winds, created certain corresponding challenges for the project. The structure is subjected to significant wind loads. Since Baku is located in a seismic zone, MAURER also designed a TMD (tuned mass damper) system weighing 400 tons to ensure safety. According to reports, without the damper, the structure would be displaced by 1.3 m under the most severe wind and seismic loads. With the damper, this figure does not exceed 60 cm. The customer set two important tasks to be solved. The first was to design the TMD system so that it could be lifted to a height of 250 m from the ground. The second was to quote the acceptable price. To meet the technical requirements and ensure cost efficiency, MAURER designed a system weighing 180 tons made of a steel box and 220 tons of concrete. If the entire mass were made of only steel/metal, the costs would be significantly higher. The 180-ton steel box was designed modularly to fulfill the first task. The number of TMD components reached 500, and they were delivered to the site by 15 trucks. After the 180-ton steel box was mounted at the top of the building, it was filled with 220 tons of concrete. This solution allowed the customer to save significantly.

Building project

In our country, the SOCAR Tower was one of the projects for which MAURER provided earthquake and wind protection. In this project, as in the Baku Tower, the TMD system was installed at the top of the building. The SOCAR Tower is 200.45 m high and consists of 42 floors. The structure’s height weakens its resistance to both wind and earthquakes. It is worth noting that in the project area, the wind speed sometimes reaches 190 km/h. Before the installation of the seismic protection system, the structure ‘played’ within 50 to 100 cm in strong winds, according to reports. Therefore, an earthquake and wind protection system (TMD) was installed at the highest point of the structure. Usually, a ceiling height of 10 m is required to install a TMD. However, in the SOCAR Tower project, it was not possible to provide such a height, and a space with a ceiling height of 7 m was proposed. MAURER redesigned the TMD system, making some changes to it to fit the 7 m height instead of 10 m. A solution with two TMD systems in one was chosen. The total mass was 450 tons. That mass was secured by 4 cables. The protection system installed in the SOCAR Tower project consists of 3 different safety levels. These are: Vibration protection system – the structure is strong enough not to feel small vibrations. However, despite this, a protection system against small vibrations was designed as the first level. Strong winds and storms – the second protection level was designed to deal with large amplitudes caused by strong winds and storms. Earthquakes and stronger storms – a time when amplitudes reach their maximum. Displacements of more than 30 cm are expected here. In short, the SOCAR Tower project is fully protected from earthquakes, strong winds, and storms thanks to the 450-ton TMD system and 3-level safety mechanism.

Building project

In our country, the Heydar Aliyev International Airport was one of the projects for which MAURER provided earthquake protection. The work under this project was completed in 2011.

MAURER supplied 39 spherical bearings for the Heydar Aliyev International Airport project.

Building project

The new administrative building of the Central Bank is one of the projects for which MAURER provided earthquake protection. In this project, a seismic protection system was installed for a special section around the tower. When installing earthquake protection systems, MAURER designs solutions and implements products according to the project specifics. For the new administrative building of the Central Bank, spherical bearings were used in the foundation isolation system. In this project, 7 spherical bearings were installed on the ceiling of the structure located around the tower and below ground level.

Building project

One of our completed projects related to seismic protection systems in the country is the Salyan ASAN Service Center. This project was inaugurated by President Ilham Aliyev on April 18, 2023. The product used in this project consists of 12 elastomer bearings manufactured by MAURER. However, the project does not involve the seismic protection of the building itself; rather, it is installed between the building and the metal structure on top of it. There are two nuances to highlight here. The first concerns the metal structure itself. The metal structure, which rests on the 12 elastomer bearings, will move easily over the bearings during expansion and contraction caused by heat and cold. This prevents cracks from forming at the ceiling joints. The other key point is cost savings. Thanks to the elastomer bearings, significant savings can be achieved in the mass of the metal structure. This is because the required movement capability is managed by the elastomers. As the movement capability is supported by the elastomers, there is no need for the metal structure to be designed rigidly, resulting in substantial savings in the metal mass.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects is Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands project is a hotel with 2,561 rooms, 120,000 m² of exhibition/conference space, a shopping mall with an area of 74,000 m², a museum, a theater, restaurants, and the world's largest atrium casino. MAURER supplied 2 types of products to ensure seismic protection of this structure. One of them is 17 spherical bearings, shown in the images. These bearings allow for the structure displacement of up to 1 m. The second product is the TMD system. At the farthest cantilever point of the structure, an entertainment club was opened. As a result, the simultaneous movement of many people led to the displacement of the entire console. To prevent this displacement, MAURER designed a vertical TMD system installed at the farthest point of the console. As the name suggests, the vertical TMD system is designed to dampen upward and downward movements.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects is Butterfly Towers in Bucharest, Romania. It was necessary to protect this structure from both seismic and wind loads. As seen in the images, 56 hydraulic dampers were used in the building. If the height of the structure is not suitable for foundation isolation and is too small for the TMD system, this method, i.e., hydraulic rods, is used. This is the best solution for such projects since achieving a similar effect would require designing the building with greater rigidity, which would lead to significant additional costs. The building is also known as Orhideea Towers. The northern part of the building has a height of 85 m and consists of 17 floors. The southern part has a height of 64 m and consists of 13 floors. Construction began in 2015, and MAURER dampers were installed in 2017.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects is DC Tower 1 in Austria. Under the DC name, two buildings have been constructed. Here, we consider DC Tower 1. This building is 220 m high (250 m with the antenna) and consists of 60 floors. This is the tallest building in Austria, standing 60 m higher than DC Tower 2. The architect of the building is Dominique Perrault from France. Construction of DC Tower 1 began in 2010, was completed in 2013, and opened in 2014. MAURER supplied an inertial mass damper (Tuned Mass Damper - TMD) for this project. DC Tower 1 is located in Vienna, in an area of frequent and strong winds and seismic activity. Without any installed devices, the building was displaced by 45 cm under wind forces. Therefore, MAURER equipped this project with a 300-ton TMD. The main task was to stabilize the building against displacements caused by factors such as wind, storm, and earthquake. The 300-ton mass damper starts stabilizing the building even with minor vibrations caused by these three factors. One of the innovations used by MAURER in this project is semi-active dampers.

Building project

The next global reference for MAURER is the Singapore airport with a unique neo-futuristic design, holding a special place in the world. This structure is the largest single-layer steel and glass project in the world. The indoor waterfall is also the tallest one. Water falls from a height of 40 m at a rate of 40,000 L/min. The airport covers an area of 3.5 ha, and the total area of the structure is 135,700 sq. m. It consists of 10 floors, of which only 5 are above ground. The project was developed by the famous architect Moshe Safdie, who also designed Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. MAURER installed 14 support bearings for this project. It was important to consider the unified steel and glass concept of the structure. These bearings allow the structure to withstand loads up to 8,000 kN. The bearing diameter is 1,000 mm. Construction started in 2014 and was completed in 2019. The total cost of the project amounted to USD 1.7 billion.

Building project

One of MAURER's global references is the Gazprom Arena. MAURER offers seismic isolation solutions for all types of structures, including residential buildings and towers. This stadium is one of such projects. The Gazprom Arena is located in St. Petersburg, Russia. Construction was completed in April 2017. The stadium has a capacity of 67,800 spectators. The architect of the building is Kisho Kurokawa from Japan. The total cost of the Gazprom Arena project is EUR 597 million. MAURER's main focus in this project was on creating a protection system for the structure. To achieve this, MAURER used more than 100 structural bearings manufactured using high-quality MSM technology. These bearings withstand vertical loads up to 10,000 kN and have a lifting capacity of up to 3.5 MN. As seen in the construction images, there are 8 pylons at the edges. These 8 pylons connect the entire structure, and the bearings are installed in their base points. Thanks to the bearings, the arising movements are transmitted to the appropriate supports. Here, the high-quality sliding MSM technology by MAURER plays a significant role.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects is Roland Garros in Paris. The project covers an area of 13.5 ha and comprises 20 tennis courts. One of the key features of the tennis stadium is the possibility of continuing the game even during heavy rain. The stadium is equipped with a roof, which can open and close. MAURER installed special dampers for this roof. The goal was to achieve an instant response of the roof to the slightest vibrations and ensure the noiseless operation of the roof system. As seen in the images, the stadium roof consists of 11 girders that open during rain, ensuring protection from rain. However, this system had to operate at minimal noise levels to avoid disturbing the tennis players. The noise generated in this steel structure during the wind also needed to be eliminated. MAURER used 2 different systems for this project: TMD (Vertical Vibration Dampers) and 20 (elastomeric, spherical, and lifting) bearings. These systems eliminate metal fatigue in the structure, ensuring its durability, allowing the roof to operate at minimal noise levels during opening and closing, and ensuring seismic safety.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects is the seismic protection of the foundations of private residential houses in the Netherlands. The project was implemented in Groningen, Netherlands. In this area, large-scale gas extraction negatively affected the soil structure. As a result of the voids formed in the rocks, the seismicity of the area increased significantly. About 150 thousand people lived in this area, and before the project was implemented, thousands of houses had already been damaged by earthquakes. The Dutch government had two ways to solve the problem with residential houses in this area. The first one was to build more durable residential houses or strengthen existing structures. The second way was to seismically isolate the foundations of residential buildings. The first project was implemented in the second way on the so-called farmhouses. The foundation of the building was isolated from the subsurface, and seismic bearings were installed between them. These SIP-D type bearings allow for structure displacement within 80 mm during earthquakes, absorbing friction energy. As a result, thanks to these bearings, the structure does not perceive vibrations during the earthquake in a dangerous form. MAURER also installed its seismic monitoring systems in this project.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects for earthquake and wind protection is the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki. A few years ago, the stadium underwent major modernization, and the entire roof was reconstructed. One of the key tasks of the project was to perform the modernization without changing the stadium exterior. As mentioned, the entire structure had to be covered with a new roof system without changing the facade of the structure. Within this project, MAURER had to ensure the seismic safety of the structure and the new roof. For this project, 96 spherical bearings of 12 different designs were manufactured. The images show 11 specially designed lifting spherical bearings. The key specifications of MAURER bearings in this project are: Free rotation and horizontal displacement Resistance to temperatures from -36° to +50° Service life of over 50 years Compensation of vertical compression and tension forces The following key points were considered in the design of these bearings: structural protection, existing architectural conditions, strong winds, and high safety requirements.

Building project

One of MAURER's latest global projects is Felipe Angeles Airport in Mexico. The airport location area is prone to frequent earthquakes. The area of the building itself is 215,000 sq. m. Therefore, the entire structure was seismically isolated from the foundation. This airport is the largest structure protected from earthquakes in Latin America. For this project, MAURER supplied 473 SIP-DR-type bearings. These bearings had to solve the following key tasks: Reduce the horizontal acceleration coefficient from 6 to 0.1 g. As a result, the structure installed on the bearings could move freely in all directions, allowing displacement of up to 300 mm in each direction. Slow down and limit horizontal friction. Return the structure to its original state after an earthquake. These bearings withstand a vertical load of up to 151,000 tons. The service life of the chosen SIP-DR bearings is at least 50 years. The bearing diameter is 620 mm, and the height is 133 mm.

Building project

One of MAURER's global projects is The Secrets & Dreams Bahia Mita Hotel. This is the largest structure in Latin America, entirely installed on seismic bearings. This project is entirely built on 410 SIP-D type bearings, which allow the structure to displace within 500 mm. As seen in the images, it was technically impossible to install the entire structure on bearings. Therefore, the structure was divided into 4 different sections, separated by expansion joints. As a result, during an earthquake, the parts of the structure can move independently of each other. The main 4 functions of installed 410 SIP-D type bearings: The bearings isolate the building from the foundation, allowing horizontal displacement of up to 500 mm in all directions. They limit movement due to internal friction. They return the building to its initial position after an earthquake. They transfer vertical loads. The two main requirements of the project customer, AMR, were ensuring uninterrupted provision of services even during a strong earthquake and a longer service life. Both requirements were met thanks to the design, consisting of expansion joints and two-layer SIP-D bearings. The supplied products are designed for up to 100 years of service. It should also be noted that the installation of these 410 bearings allowed for saving 15% of the foundation construction costs.

Building project

MAURER provided a seismic protection system for 500 years for the largest mosque in Algeria, which is also the third largest in the world. The total area of the mosque is 400,000 m². The key goal of the seismic protection developed for this project was to fully protect the structure and people visiting the mosque from small and medium earthquakes and increase the structure's resilience to strong ones. As part of this project, MAURER supplied 246 SIP Pendulum Bearings and 80 adaptive hydraulic dampers. The bearings horizontally isolate the structure from the foundation, and the dampers ensure the possibility of horizontal displacement of the structure (up to 655 mm). The key functions of the SIP bearings: Bearing the vertical loads of the structure The sliding function of the bearings allows for horizontal displacement of up to 655 mm Isolation of the structure from the foundation Automatic return of the structure to its initial position after any seismic displacement The hydraulic dampers are installed along and across the structure. The maximum reaction force is 3,065 kN.

Building project

The Tlahuac Hospital in Mexico City is the first seismically isolated hospital in the city. For this project, MAURER supplied 243 bearings (isolators) with three different features. A brief overview of the project. Mexico City is not actually located in a seismically active zone but is built on the former lake territory. This means that this area is mainly characterized by clay soil with a high water content. Therefore, an average earthquake in this area corresponds to a strong earthquake in neighboring ones. The soil deficiencies were addressed through seismic isolation of the structure. The Tlahuac Hospital is built on a durable and huge concrete box. The hospital is completely isolated from the foundation by 243 bearings (isolators) with a diameter of 850 mm. The study and calculations related to seismic isolation have confirmed that the bearings are not required to ensure displacement of 1-1.2 m. As a result, it was decided to limit the displacement to 400 mm. Given the location, this displacement of the structure was considered sufficient. The elastomeric body of the bearings withstands a vertical load of up to 50,000 tons while ensuring the possibility of horizontal movement and helping the structure return to its initial position after an earthquake. In the summer of 2020, the structure successfully withstood a 7.5 magnitude earthquake without any issues or damage.

Building project

One of the projects where MAURER's seismic protection systems were implemented is the Alto Hospicio hospital in Chile. For seismic isolation, SIP-D (Sliding Isolation Pendulum – Double) bearings were used. The total area of the hospital is 50,000 m², it consists of three separate buildings and has three floors. The key tasks of the bearings used in the project: Ensuring the safety of people inside. Protection of the structure from earthquakes. Ensuring the continuous operation of the hospital during an earthquake. Providing cost-effectiveness compared to conventional construction engineering. The SIP-D bearings used in the project were supplied in three different sizes. The largest ones have the following parameters: 650x650 mm, height 150 mm, and weight 400 kg. A total of 212 bearings of three different sizes were used. These bearings perform 4 key functions: Isolating the structure from the foundation and ensuring horizontal displacement (±250 mm). Along with ensuring horizontal displacement, limiting excessive sharp movements due to internal friction. Return of the structure to its initial position after an earthquake. Bearing vertical loads of up to 8,000 kN.

Building project

One of MAURER's projects related to seismic protection is the installation of the TMD system on a building in Peru. The project involves the installation of vibration dampers for a 9-story administrative building of an insurance company in Peru. This administrative building has 9 floors and a height of 40 m, it is narrow, asymmetrical, and has a soft frame. Although this building is not vulnerable to wind impact, it is very susceptible to earthquakes. However, the building's owner did not agree to install additional reinforcing walls to preserve the internal architectural design. Therefore, it was required to find a solution without physical intervention in the building. The study showed that the displacement on the 9th floor of the building was 225 mm, which could lead to the building's collapse and injuries to people. A solution was proposed to add a concrete mass on rubber bearings at the very top of the building, which would work on the principle of a TMD (tuned mass damper). This was the first TMD mechanism developed with the earthquake factor in mind, rather than wind. Another advantage of the proposed mechanism was that the added mass would also serve as the building's roof, being part of its mass, which significantly saved costs for the customer. The said concrete mass has a thickness of 600 mm and dimensions of 13x11 m. Its approximate weight is 210 tons. The project used 11 rubber bearings, thanks to which the displacement was reduced to 160 mm. The height of the bearings is 300 mm, and the diameter is 500 mm.

Building project

This is one of MAURER’s numerous seismic protection projects. The project concerns the historic monument of the Triumphal Arch in Bucharest. In that project, the main requirement of the customer was to strengthen the Arch's seismic protection system. The most effective way proposed by MAURER to increase the resilience of this historic monument against earthquakes was to reinforce foundation protection. As seen in the image, the method chosen was to surround the monument's foundation (reinforced frame) with expansion joints. The details of the expansion joint developed by MAURER for this project are as follows: The total length of the expansion joint is 86 m. The width of the expansion joint is 1.25 m. The expansion joint allows for the historic monument displacement within 500 mm in all directions. Since the historic monument is located above a highway, the expansion joint can withstand an axle load of up to 40 tons from vehicles. The expansion joint ensures not only horizontal but also vertical displacement. Thanks to the expansion joints, the seismic protection system of the historic monument was enhanced. Along with the use of expansion joints, MAURER developed a special solution to cover them to preserve the exterior of the monument. During restoration and repair work, they were skillfully concealed.

Building project

MAURER supplies protection systems against earthquakes, wind, and other vibrations for all types of construction projects. This is another seismic protection project implemented by MAURER. This refers to the AlpspiX project in Germany. The project is called the AlpspiX Viewing Platform, serving as an observation platform. This project, implemented in Bavaria, Germany, is a 13-meter-long cantilever. For this project, MAURER supplied TMD systems to regulate vibrations. The key advantages of installing TMD systems: Less vibration Reduced material (or metal) fatigue Longer maintenance intervals and extended service life In this project, 4 TMD systems were installed, each measuring 650x650 mm and 340 mm in height. These TMDs were installed at the furthest point of the cantilever since the highest vibration was observed there. Herewith, hydraulic dampers, i.e., internal braking systems that convert motion into heat, were installed inside the TMDs. These 4 TMDs were installed at the bottom of the cantilever in such a way as not to disturb people.

Building project

Many hospital projects with foundation seismic protection have been implemented in brotherly Turkey. MAURER has also implemented numerous projects in Turkey. One of them is the city hospital in Sakarya. In Turkey, the installation of foundation seismic protection systems (usually using isolators – bearings installed on pylons) is mandatory when constructing hospitals (for more than 100 beds). In this project, 831 MAURER SIP D (Sliding Isolation Pendulum) bearings of six different types were installed. Thanks to these bearings, the hospital gained the ability to displacement within 500 mm in any direction during earthquakes.

Building project

One of MAURER's global seismic protection projects is the implementation of a fundamental seismic protection system for the Biosense laboratory and testing center building in Serbia. The project details are provided below. As seen in the image, there was a small separate area inside the principal building that needed to be completely protected from even the slightest vibrations (due to the nearby highway) and earthquakes. In this project, in collaboration with an Austrian company, MAURER developed a special material and introduced its new product, SIP-V. Thus: The building is completely isolated from the foundation and can move in all directions up to a maximum of 100 mm. Horizontal displacement is limited to a certain level, and the resulting friction is converted into kinetic energy. After an earthquake or vibration, the SIP V bearings return the building to its initial position, the center. They withstand vertical loads of up to 4,000 kN. The installed bearing dimensions are 650x650x210 mm, and their service life is at least 50 years. 4 hydraulic dampers were also installed to protect small sections of the building from bending.

Building project

MAURER recently invented the 2-stage foundation seismic protection system and implemented it for the first time in the world in Mexico. Mexico is a seismically active geographic region. The project concerns a hospital and research institute. I.e., both surgeries and special scientific research in laboratories will be performed inside. Therefore, the implementation of the seismic protection system was mandatory. The greatest problem in this project was that the building was intended to be a 13-story structure with 4 floors of underground parking but was architecturally designed as a multi-story building on a small area (occupied by the foundation). As a result, the building would be subject to high compression and stress during earthquakes. The simplest way to avoid this was to expand the foundation of the structure. However, this significantly increased construction costs. Therefore, the customer preferred not to use this method in the project. MAURER's solution was as follows: MAURER recommended implementing the newly developed SIP-A type bearing. Here, ‘A’ stands for ‘adaptive.’ As seen in the image, the bearing consists of two oval parts. During an earthquake, both parts can move independently of each other. If the earthquake (i.e., seismic) force is small, only the lower part of the bearing moves. When the earthquake intensifies, the upper part starts moving as well. This is called two-stage seismic protection. Seismic protection could have been ensured using SIP supports, but since the building, due to its purpose, required maximum protection from earthquakes (to continue surgeries and detailed and sensitive research in the laboratory), preference was given to the SIP-A model. For the project, 34 bearings were supplied, each capable of moving in all directions by 300 mm. The service life of the bearings is 50 years.

Building project

Along with seismic protection systems, MAURER also manufactures steel structures such as Ferris Wheels, Roller Coasters, etc. The model shown in the image is called the Ferris Wheel R80XL with a diameter approximately twice that of the wheel on the boulevard in Baku (74 m). Passenger cabins are offered in two options. The first option is 54 Ethos cabins, each accommodating 8 passengers. The second option is 27 Zeppelin cabins, each accommodating 16 passengers. The height of the Ferris Wheel R80 XL is 78 m, and the diameter is 74 m. The capacity is 1,700 passengers per hour. This model operates on 8 AC Siemens motors. Although MAURER is mainly known for its seismic protection systems, it also has significant experience in steel structures and engineering. It should be noted that German MAURER has been operating since 1876. If we consider only Ferris Wheels, since 2002, MAURER has installed 30 such wheels in various countries.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the motor road bridge in Augsburg, Germany. Maurer managed to complete the replacement of the expansion joints on this bridge in just 57 hours. One of the key auxiliary products used here is the Maurer mobile bridging system. As shown in the image, the expansion joints are covered with these steel mobile bridges, ensuring continuous traffic flow. During the replacement of expansion joints on one part of the bridge, the mobile bridge is raised, and traffic continues on other sections. Thus, all expansion joints can be replaced without stopping traffic. This solution is especially important for inner-city bridges. Since traffic is not interrupted, there are no traffic jams, and vehicles continue to move in other lanes. It is also important to note that prolonged bridge closures cause significant economic damage, which can be avoided by using this method.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is a bridge project in Hungary. This project involves the famous Chain Bridge over the Danube in Budapest. The bearings and expansion joints of the bridge were replaced to meet modern requirements. One of the main challenges of the project was the bridge bearings since they had to allow for displacement in all directions and counteract the lifting forces of the bridge. Therefore, MAURER developed special spherical bearings made of MSM material. For this project, a total of 32 spherical bearings were supplied. Secondly, MAURER also replaced the expansion joints. The new expansion joint allows for a displacement of up to 1,400 mm. The bridge is 15 m wide and 380 m long.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Raiffeisen bridge project. The issue was the replacement of the bearings of the Raiffeisen bridge built in 1978. This bridge handles 46,000 vehicles daily. The bridge is 485 m long and has three spans. Maurer replaced the POT bearings used in this project with spherical ones. Some of the installed bearings have a diameter of 2.4 m and weigh 13 tons. These bearings can withstand loads of up to 120 MN. Eight bearings supplied by Maurer allow for displacement in all directions. These bearings are made of patented MSM material (a special material for ensuring sliding).

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Jauntal bridge project. This is a railroad bridge with a height of 96 m and a length of 430 m. MAURER supplied SIP bearings (Sliding Isolation Pendulums) and special braking dampers for this railroad bridge. Each bearing weighs 2500 kg and measures 1300x1234 mm. The lifespan of the bearings and dampers is 50 years. In the bridge project, MAURER proposed a comprehensive system solution, including both bearings and dampers. The bearings ensure minimal resistance to the structure's movement during small but continuous vibrations and act to return the structure to its initial position. The dampers hold the structure in place during the train start or stop.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is a bridge project in Croatia. The total length of the bridge is 2404 m. Its height is 55 m, and it comprises five central spans, each 285 m long. For this project, MAURER developed and manufactured 32 spherical bearings. Of them, 16 bearings can withstand horizontal loads of up to 19 MN. One of the challenges for MAURER in this project was the vertical installation of these bearings. The remaining 16 bearings had to withstand horizontal loads of up to 33 MN. All 32 bearings allow for sharp displacements of up to 1.3 m during a strong earthquake. The longest bearing is 3 m long, 1.2 m wide, and 330 mm high. For this project, 2 expansion joints were also supplied. Each expansion joint consists of 14 profiles. One of the important tasks set by the customer before MAURER was the maximum corrosion resistance of the expansion joints. Therefore, MAURER chose a hybrid design. I.e., the upper part of the expansion joint was made of special stainless steel (specially designed for wear protection), and the lower one was made of structural steel. This ensures maximum protection of the expansion joint surface from wear.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Schiersteiner bridge project in Germany. The issue concerned the expansion (temperature) joint and the bearing. In this bridge project, MAURER supplied both the expansion joint and the bearing. This bridge was first built in 1962. By the 2010s, the intensity of its use had reached 90,000 vehicles per day, so modernization was required. For this bridge, MAURER supplied spherical bearings capable of withstanding a load of 6,000 tons. The maximum expected displacement ensured by those bearings was determined to be 1.5%. The bearings measure 1600x1500x380 mm, and each weighs 4.6 tons. These figures are 30% more efficient compared to standard bearings. MAURER developed and patented the MSA material for these spherical bearings. It is resistant to corrosion and extreme weather conditions and has a service life of 100 years. The second product supplied for this bridge was the expansion joint. For this project, MAURER used noise-reducing expansion joints. These expansion joints reduce noise by 40-60% when vehicles pass over them. The MAURER Swivel Expansion Joint allows for displacement in all directions. The MAURER generator compensator Swivel Expansion Joint allows for displacement in all directions and has a service life of at least 50 years. The longitudinal movement of the compensator varies between 700 to 1100 mm.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is a bridge project in Dubai. One of MAURER's areas of activity is the supply of expansion joints and bearings for bridges and viaducts. A distinctive feature of this project was the specific requirements for the Dubai bridge bearings. First of all, the bearings had to withstand temperatures of up to 60 degrees and pressures of up to 40 MPa. This canal is 3 km long and up to 120 m wide. It has 4 different bridges, each with a separate contractor. The only common requirement was the specifications. For the bearings required to withstand high temperatures and pressures, MAURER specially developed the MSM Plus product. This product was tested at the University of Stuttgart, and MAURER was the only company that met all the customer's requirements. Despite different contractors, the bearing technology used for all these 4 bridges was based on MAURER’s MSM Plus product. For this project, MAURER supplied a total of 143 bearings. The bearings can withstand forces of up to 30 MN. The fourth bridge with MAURER as the contractor had 4 lanes in each direction.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Alberto Pumarejo Bridge project in Colombia. MAURER supplied 80 spherical and elastomeric bearings for this bridge. The project's key aspects are as follows: The bridge consists of 3 parts: 2 viaducts and 1 main bridge. The bridge has a total length of 3,237 m and 29 spans. In this project, MAURER had to address two challenges: Protection of the bridge from strong winds and earthquakes Protection of the bridge from compressive and tensile forces MAURER used MSM spherical bearings against compressive forces and elastomeric bearings against tensile forces. A dual-bearing solution was chosen in this case. The image shows a scheme of this solution. A total of 10 bearings were installed between the P13 and P14 bridge spans. Longitudinal displacement in the bridge spans is compensated by 2 large MSM spherical bearings, while transverse displacement is handled by 4 elastomeric bearings. The largest bearings in this project measure approximately 150x150 cm and weigh 5.5 tons.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Botlekbrug Bridge project in the Netherlands, the largest lift bridge in Europe. The Netherlands needs to use such bridge technology. This lift bridge consists of 2 lifting sections. The bridge has 3 lanes for road traffic and 2 lanes for rail traffic in each direction. Each bridge section is 100 m long, 50 m wide, and 60 m high. Technically, the maximum lifting height of the bridge sections is 40 m. It can open 6 times per hour. Structurally, it resembles a machine (mechanism) rather than a bridge. In this project, MAURER supplied both expansion joints and bearings. Different expansion joints were used for different sections. DS 720 and DS 320 expansion joints were used for the external and internal passages, respectively. MAURER faced three challenges in this project: The problem of lifting the expansion joint when the bridge is raised Integration of the lifting beams of the bridge span with the steel structure of the bridge Ensuring the match of the bridge structure when the span expands and contracts for various reasons while performing the lifting function Maurer successfully addressed all three challenges by applying various engineering solutions. 16 spherical bearings were also used in the construction. They measure 1200x1100 mm and weigh 4 tons. The load they bear ranges from 21,000 to 29,000 kN. This bridge is characterized by high susceptibility to both longitudinal and transverse loads. Therefore, additional bearings were needed for horizontal loads. 3 bearings were supplied: 1 for transverse loads and 2 for longitudinal ones.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the longest sea bridge project in Mumbai, India. This steel bridge has reduced travel time from 2 hours to 20 minutes. The planned bridge usage statistics are 70,000 vehicles per day. Products supplied by MAURER for this project: 1100 elastomeric bearings 461 spherical bearings 160 pot bearings 880 m of expansion joints 40 vibration dampers Several important bridge-related aspects were considered in the manufacture of these products: Huge spans (from 100 to 180 m) The bridge is made of steel and is characterized by greater softness and elasticity compared to concrete, which leads to strong vibrations. Side winds (20 m/s or 72 km/h) cause displacement of about 300 mm. For this project, MAURER developed special dampers (MTMD-V, Spring-Mass-Dampers), each weighing 4.8 tons. These dampers reduced the bridge vibrations by almost 15 times. The hydraulic dampers used here were specially designed. They ensure frictionless and wear-free movement. The dampers were tested over 400 km and continued to work without wear and leaks at temperatures up to 160 degrees. The dampers mostly consist of concrete, which makes them an economically advantageous solution.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Champlain Bridge project over the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, Canada. For this project, Maurer chose its Guided Crosstie product and supplied it along with a derailment prevention device as part of the new project. The total bridge length is 3.4 km, the main span is 240 m, and the height is 170 m. The first version of the bridge was built in 1962. However, strong winds, harsh winters, and earthquakes required a new solution for the bridge. The main requirements for expansion joints for this railroad bridge were: Complete waterproofing Work should not disrupt traffic flow The ability to install a durable plate in the center of the concrete road Perfect opening and closing of gaps Ability to operate at temperatures from -35 to +40 degrees The Guided Crosstie expansion joint used for railroad bridges has the same logic as the Swivel Joist designed for motor roads. However, due to its railroad application, it is subjected to greater loads, considering the high speed and fast braking of trains. Test results show that the expansion joint allows for displacement over a total distance of 10 km. The bridge's overall lifespan is 125 years, with the expansion joint's lifespan being a minimum of 60 years.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER’s global projects in this area is the Çanakkale Bridge project in Turkey. The Çanakkale Bridge is the largest suspension bridge in the world, with its main span measuring 2,023 m. The total bridge length is 4,608 m, and the width is 45 m. The expansion joint installed in this project has some unique features. One of them is the MSM Swivel Joist Expansion Joint, which ensures displacement of 2,800 mm. The swivel joist feature allows the bridge to move in all directions. The sliding distance is up to 50 km. Another interesting feature is absorbing up to 60% of noise thanks to the special technology used in the expansion joint. In this project, the expansion joint is supported by not classic elastomers but new W-shaped MSM bearings. This is one of Maurer’s new patents, obtained in 2020. This allows for improved performance, elimination of limitations, and an extended product lifespan.

Let’s note the three key aspects considered by Maurer when designing products for this project. First, the bridge is 2 km long and spans the Taro River. Second, the bridge has an arch shape. Third, the entire structure should be earthquake resistant. According to these aspects, Maurer supplied 92 pendulum bearings and 6 modular expansion joints. The SIP (Sliding Isolation Pendulum) bearings were chosen. The four main functions of the SIP bearings are: The bearings transmit vertical loads. The sliding plate ensures horizontal displacements during earthquakes. The bearings separate the bridge from the main part and ensure isolation. The bearings return the bridge to its original position after earthquakes. The bearings come in various sizes, with a diameter reaching 1,600 mm. After the bearings, 6 modular expansion joints were installed. The expansion joints ensure a standard displacement of 280 mm. During earthquakes, this displacement can reach 450 mm. The project also includes 14 small bridges connected to the main one. For these 14 bridges, Maurer also supplied 324 lead-rubber bearings, 20 spherical bearings, and 36 expansion joints.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER’s global projects in this area is the Yarumo Blanco Viaduct in Colombia. Construction started in 2010, but problems arose. One of the challenges was that after half of the construction was completed, it was discovered that seismic compliance had not been fully planned. This viaduct is 640 m long and is located in hilly terrain. The geographical relief and seismic activity of the area required the strengthening of the viaduct to meet seismic standards. One of the main challenges during the strengthening phase was the height difference between the spans, ranging from 20 to 50 m depending on the terrain. For the project, Maurer’s SIP-D-Bearings were chosen. Here, SIP stands for Sliding Isolation Pendulum, and D stands for double. The chosen bearing type should ensure four main functions: Isolating the bridge from the surface together with the supports and allowing horizontal displacement of up to 600 mm. Limiting movements with kinetic energy to 7% internal friction during an earthquake. Only Maurer could guarantee this 7% standard among alternative companies due to the patented Sliding material. The lifespan is 50 years. Automatically returning the structure to its original position after an earthquake. Transmitting vertical loads up to 14 MN. Another important aspect of this project is that bearings are usually placed between the bridge spans and supports. As seen in the image, in this project, due to the previously unaccounted seismic standards, the supports and spans were fully concreted. Given the impossibility of the specified placement, Maurer implemented another technique. The process stages were: Stage 1: The pylons are expanded in a cubic shape from the very bottom and concreted. Stage 2: Eight bearing structures and jacks are added for stability. Stage 3: The horizontal supports are cut from the very bottom with a diamond wire. Stage 4: The bridge is raised by 50 cm using four hydraulic jacks. Stage 5: Four SIP-D Bearings are installed on each column and secured. Stage 6: The supports are carefully returned to place and installed on the bearings.

Bridge project

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER’s global projects in this area is the Çayırhan Bridge project in Ankara. One of the key features of this project is that the area where the bridge is located is constantly subject to flooding. Therefore, the main function of the bearings designed for the bridge is to be flood resistant. When designing the SIP bearings — Sliding Isolation Pendulums, the risks of floods, earthquakes, and high structural loads were also considered. The key tasks related to the bearings designed for that project were protecting the bearings from dust and other factors, keeping them serviceable, ensuring resistance to loads of up to 10,000 tons, and providing seismic mobility by mitigating horizontal forces. The tasks performed by the Çayırhan Bridge bearings were: Transmitting vertical loads up to 56 MN. Ensuring horizontal displacement up to 157 mm. Distributing seismic forces through bearing sliding. Returning the structure to its standard position after an earthquake using the sliding bearing.

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Bogibeel Bridge in India. The upper tier of the bridge is a roadway, while the lower one is a railroad line. Since it is located in a seismic zone, the bridge is capable of withstanding earthquakes up to 7 on the Richter scale. Maurer equipped this bridge with 164 spherical bearings. These bearings can withstand loads of up to 2,800 tons. The bridge has a total length of 4.94 km and consists of 41 spans. Of these spans, 39 have lengths of up to 125 m. Maurer installed 4 MSM spherical bearings under each span. These bearings have dimensions of 1200x1200 mm and a height of 200 mm. The design load of each structure is 28 MN. 164 MSM spherical bearings supplied by Maurer have a service life of at least 50 years and do no require maintenance during this period.

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Kattwyk Bridge in Hamburg, Germany. Maurer supplied products for 2 bridges in this project. The project includes two bridges: one old and one new. Maurer replaced the spherical bearings and expansion joints on the old Kattwyk Bridge. On the new Kattwyk Bridge, 6 custom-made spherical bearings and expansion joints were installed. The new Kattwyk Bridge became the largest lift bridge in Germany. It consists of 3 spans, 2 of which are located on the shore, while the middle one is the lifting part for ship passage. After the construction of the new bridge, the railroad line was moved to the new Kattwyk, while the roadway remained on the old bridge. This prevents additional transport delays when ships pass through. On the new Kattwyk Bridge, Maurer installed 6 special bearings. Of them, 4 ensure multidimensional displacement while the other 2 stabilize the longitudinal displacement of the lifting span.

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Baerl Rhine Bridge located on Federal Highway 42 in Germany, connecting the Baerl and Beeckerwerth districts. The total length of the bridge is 1,030 m, and its longest span is 310 m. It was built in 1990 and consists of 3 lanes in each direction. Maurer’s main task was to replace the expansion joint on the bridge. To do this, 4 expansion joints were manufactured. The installed XLS 900 and XLS 600 expansion joints allow for the bridge displacement within 855 and 570 mm, respectively. The XLS 900 expansion joint is the heaviest of the 4 joints, weighing 25 tons. The length of each expansion joint reaches 23.15 m. Since this bridge is part of a highway, replacement required great attention and care. Replacing the expansion joint and installing the new one took 3 months. This included ensuring the safety of the structure, dismantling the old expansion joint, installing new reinforcements and the expansion joint, concreting, and asphalting. The new expansion joint installed does not require maintenance for 40 years.

MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Reichsbrücke Bridge over the Danube River in Vienna, Austria. The total length of the bridge is 528 m. One of the main challenges of this project was that one section was narrow but carried a heavy load. Maurer’s task was to develop a solution that matched the situation. Maurer developed compact spherical bearings capable of withstanding high loads in that section. One of the most important features of these bearings is their high load resistance with minimal friction. The project used 8 spherical bearings having dimensions of 1350x1350 mm and weighing 1.5-3.3 tons. They were installed on pylons P7 and P10, with 4 bearings on each. These bearings can be seen in the image.

One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Osmangazi Bridge in Turkey, also known as the Izmit Bridge. This bridge connects the Gebze and Yalova regions in Turkey. One of the main and most important features of this bridge is its second-largest span in the world. Another feature is that the bridge can maintain traffic flow even during earthquakes of up to 8 on the Richter scale. Maurer supplied the Swivel Joist Expansion Joint with Fuse Box for this bridge. This expansion joint allows the bridge to move within +- 3.8 m. The reason for installing the fuse box is the high seismic activity in this area. It allows the bridge to maintain traffic flow even during earthquakes up to 8 on the Richter scale. The total length of the bridge is 2.7 km, it has 3 lanes in each direction, and is 64 m above sea level. It ranks second in the world by the length of its main span (1.55 km). The construction of the bridge started in 2012 and was completed in 2017.
