108 Used software: Scia Engineer The “Tweede Scheldebrug” (Second bridge over the river Scheldt) is located in Temse, to the south of Antwerp. This bridge is the result of a Design and Build procedure that Ney and Partners have won in 2006 for the THV Tweede Scheldebrug, a joint venture of Cordeel (concrete works), Hye (foundations), Aelterman (steel) and Fabricom-GTI (electro-mechanics). Monumental, massive and industrial: these words apply to the first bridge connecting Temse and Bornem. It is a heavy steel grey structure originally designed by Eiffel and later reconstructed in the year 1950 after having been subject to heavy damage during World War II. The pile foundations of the new bridge will be next to the existing foundations. The new bridge is 374 m long and consists of seven fixed stayed spans varying from 18 m to 74 m and two 28 m long mobile spans. The 8.4 m wide vehicular concrete deck consists of a 30 to 40 cm light weight semi precast concrete slab that comprises polystyrene void formers within its depth. This slab spans between two steel girders whose upper flange doubles up as a stay that is attached to 6,7 m tall masts for the fixed spans. In the 28 m span mobile part, a light steel orthotropic steel deck spans between a series of secondary beams onto the two main girders. The suspension cables unload the box girders, and allow for an extremely open structure. On the upstream side of the cross-section next to the vehicular deck is situated a 1 m wide maintenance path; on the downstream side a timber clad deck for the pedestrians and cyclists that has a varying width of 4,5 m to 6 m, bordered by a light stainless steel railing. Both maintenance and pedestrian and cyclist paths are carried by fins cantilevering from the longitudinal steel box girders. These girders form a physical barrier between vehicular and soft traffic. CAE Civil Works 3 Second bridge over the river Scheldt Monumental, massive and industrial: these words apply to the first bridge connecting Temse and Bornem (Belgium). It is a heavy steel grey structure originally designed by Eiffel and later reconstruct in the year 1950 after having been subject to heavy damage during World War II. Right next to this old one, a second bridge will be built. The pile foundations of the new bridge will be next to the existing foundations. The new bridge has a length of 374 m and consists of seven fixed stayed spans varying from 18 m to 74 m and two 28 m long mobile spans. Because of the elegantly detailed finish, the atypical moulds for the abutments and the subtle lighting scheme, the bridge will blend into its environment and contrast beautifully with its neighbour.

Since its foundation in 1997, the office has worked with an active view on the art of engineering through the integration of the different civil works disciplines. This integration and optimisation of structural elements aims to overcome the classic hierarchic assembly of constructive solutions. Innovative passerelles, bridges, roof structures and works of art developed by our office, express most clearly this vision. In our collaborations with architects, engineers or artists we aim at a full integration of architecture, structure and context. The construction project quality lies in the synthesis of specific design constraints. The structural aspect is of primary importance to this synthesis. From the very beginning of the design process, Ney & Partners conducts a constant research for advanced engineering integration. In doing so, our position as Engineering Consultancy overcomes the standardized dimensioning of predefined technical solutions. An intense collaboration with the design team from an early stage on allows the development of innovative solutions, adapted to the context of the project. Ney and Partners currently employs more than 40 civil engineers, architects, draughtsman, etc.. NOMINATION NOMINATION
