Construction Period 03/2013 - 07/2013
The steel bridge is used to transport car bodies and containers between
the old and the new production plant complexes of the BMW factory in
Dingolfing. It contains eight conveyor lines distributed over two floors.
Altogether, seven railway lines, one small river, one road bridge and three
roads had to be bridged over. Hence, the bridge had to be designed with
the
impressive dimensions
of 100 m length, 17 m width and 21 m height.
The most challenging area to construct was the edge of the bridge where
the
structure cantilevers up to 16 m
and the field next to it spans over
40 m. The bracing is mainly constructed by frames. Additional struts are
added to the columns below the superstructure.
In order to meet fire protection standards and to avoid the necessity
of a fireproof coating on the exterior components, several columns are
overdesigned at fire rating level R30.
In addition to the challenging spatial conditions, the BMW production
process couldn’t be influenced. Because of the narrow time slot for
installation, large parts of the steel structure had to be prefabricated.
Therefore, the 3D bridge model was calculated for all individual assembly
states. To guarantee a smooth operation of the conveyor technology
elements, an
exact prediction of the building movements
was required
and accomplished using SCIA Engineer.

The Ingenieurgemeinschaft Gölkel igg was founded 50 years ago as a
design consultancy for structural engineering. We consider the process of
planning a value adding process for our customers. Therefore, we offer a
comprehensive
service package of consulting, planning and support
.
In close cooperation with the partners of a design project, we ascertain
all potential elements that form the basis of a need-based, future-oriented
and efficient construction.
Optimization is our principle
and it results in
innovative individual solutions.
