ULMA is taking part on the construction of two bridges in Poland

The CVS cantilever formwork carriage demonstrated its efficacy in spanning large distances while requiring only limited ground-space, thanks to the lack of shoring system needed. Among the more notable advantages offered by the system are the repeatable nature of the construction process and the hydraulic advance, both of which contribute to notably increased worksite efficiency. In both undertakings the clients trusted in ULMA’s experience and knowledge of formwork technology specifically designed for such projects.

The method consists in the execution, beginning from a single pier, of successive segments using formwork suspended from the CVS Formwork Carriages. During the first phase, the structure must conform to the static cantilever schema. When a given cantilever section reaches the following section, both are joined by an end segment, at which point the schema becomes that of a continuous beam.

The CVS System is particularly notable for its efficacy in spanning rivers or existing roads, and is suited for bridges with spans from 70 to 200 metres. Moreover, construction can be completed without interrupting traffic.
