PROJECT
CHALLENGES
Saane Viaduct near Gümmenen in the canton of Bern in Switzerland:
The design challenge was to transport and pre-assemble the large components, weighing a total of 340 tonnes, on the ground, and to assemble them as a whole at a height of 20 metres. The elements were manufactured in two steel fabrication companies.
ADVANTAGES
The requirements for the software were the processing of large amounts of data, georeferencing, solid sheet material and triangulated sheets. The bocad functions for modelling and stretching triangulated sheets and for showing and hiding subsystems were particularly helpful.
