| Abstract: |
The new 30 km Cadangan Projek Jambatan Temburong (Temburong Bridge Project) in Brunei will connect the relatively isolated district of Temburong with the more developed Brunei-Muara district. The project includes approximately 12 km of low level piled slab viaduct structure crossing a peat swamp forest in the Temburong District (CC4 Contract). The peat swamp forest has unique and endangered flora and fauna. The soil conditions consist of soft peat overlying soft marine clay with depths exceeding 70m. In order to permit a fast track construction method with minimal disturbance to the environment, the design required a simple yet innovative solution. This paper describes the design of the viaducts, focusing on the development, decisions and details adopted to aid the construction method. |
