| Abstract: |
In this article we will present the utilization of overhead Movable Scaffolding Systems in building the largest High-Speed Train arch bridges in the world – Almonte River Viaduct (Spain) with a central span of 384 m and Tagus River Viaduct (Spain) with a central span of 324 m. The decks of access viaducts and the decks of central spans were built using overhead MSS without requiring any assistance from cranes or other types of auxiliary construction equipments. |
