Jurn De Vleeschauwer Email [email protected] Website www.stendess.com A steel and concrete engineering company The engineering firm Stendess was founded by an experienced team specialising in the study and design of steel constructions. From its establishment in 2002, Stendess has made high quality and full service provision its top priority. Thanks to this integral service, where the design of the metal superstructure and the concrete substructure are calculated and drawn by experts in the same office, the building owner and principal contractor retain 100 % control over the complete structure. Stendess can follow up on cross-border projects in accordance with most standards and codes: Eurocode, NBN, NEN, DIN, NF, AISC, Britisch Standards and specific national codes. Key activities • Industrial buildings: steel factories, power plants, depots, etc, • Other buildings: service buildings, concert halls, sport facilities, swimming pools, apartment buildings, • Bridge constructions: arch bridges, cable –stayed bridge, suspension bridges, bascule bridges, swing bridges, orthotropic bridge, mixed steel-concrete bridges,… • Off-shore projects: lock gates, Roro, oil rigs, … • Industrial equipment: silos, cranes, craneways, storage tanks,… • Erection engineering: longitudinal and transverse repositioning, skidding, lifting, bridge launching… Locations of the constructions: Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Singapore, Chili, Brasil, Cameroun, Russia, Thailand … Launching of arched bridge LN36 Schaarbeek Launching of arched bridge It concerns the launching of a new bridge for the use of HST (High Speed Train) traffic at Schaarbeek, Brussels. The new bridge is an arched bridge with an orthotropic deck. The arches are built-up box girders. The main beams are built-up I-sections underneath the orthotropic deck. In order to reduce the disturbance of the train traffic under the bridge, the new arched bridge was erected on a newly build concrete bridge. On this concrete bridge the new arched bridge was built together and prepared for launching. Between the existing train tracks erection towers with skids were built to support the new bridge during launching. The positions of these erection towers were very non symmetrical because of the high density of tracks below. This caused an extra difficulty in the engineering study of the bridge launching.
