Pipiral Viaduct


General description:

Project: Pipiral viaduct and accesses, open roads and six bridges.
Object: Study, design and construction of the viaduct and roads.
Work commisioned from Ingetec: Revision of the design and supervision during construction.
Contractor: Conciviles S.A.
Supervsion: Ingetec S.A. - C.C.C. S.A. Joint Venture

Technical characteristics:

Viaduct alignment: Curved, with a radius of curvature of 452 m
Length: The viaduct is a seven span, 545 m long structure composed of: two 22.5 m spans, two 62.5 m spans and three 125 m spans.
Foundation: composed of three Ø 1.80 m caissons on each abutment, two supports composed of four Ø 2.50 m caissons and the remaining four supports composed of four Ø 3.70 m caissons.
Infrastructure: Composed of two abutments and six piles varying between 15 m and 82 m in height.
Superstructure: Composed of two pre-stressed concrete voussoirs, in successive cantilevers. The height of the voussoirs varies between 7.40 m and 2.8 m and a 12.90 m wide board distributed in a 10.90 m wide roadway and two 1.0 m wide sidewalks with a curved alignment.
Surface roadways: 5.5 km. of roads and 6 bridges of variable length, from 30 m to 156 m.

Characteristics of the roadway:

Clearance: 9.40 m
Width: 7.30 m
Subbase: Granular of variable width.
Base: Granular 0.20 m
Pavement slab: 0.07 m asphalt concrete base – 0.05 thick asphalt concrete 0.05 m
Berms: 2 asphalt concrete 1.05 m.
