Case Studies and Applied Products
330 meter high concrete bridge pylons with PERI ACS self-climbing formwork
In the north of the Turkish metropolis, the third and largest bridge is currently being built across the Bosphorus. The suspension bridge is supported by two A-shaped pylons and reaches a height of around 33 ... [more]
RESTON®PENDULUM – Seismic isolators
mageba seismic isolator RESTON-PENDULUM bearings are based on the functional principle of a pendulum. They allow a structure to become horizontally displaced during an earthquake, with seismic energy being dissipated by the friction betw ... [more]
RESTON®POT – Pot Bearings
mageba Pot Bearings are durable bearings that can be used in many situations, whether in big or small bridges, or a variety of engineering structures.
