Bridge and elevated road improvements with Geotub formwork

9 May 2019

Kerisper bridge Geotub

Structural deterioration, speed of development, repair which reduces traffic congestion, and limited construction space are the most demanding challenges that road bridges and elevated roads development and maintenance must overcome. Our Geotub formwork has been efficient in overcoming these challenges by offering following benefits:

  • Fast and easy formwork installment, avoiding large machinery in limited construction space,
  • Less interrupted traffic flow during construction works,
  • Increased safety due to formwork light weight,
  • Creation of perfectly smooth surface for circle columns of large diameters (60 / 80 cm).

Our Geotub formwork road projects

M50 motorway extension, IrelandM50 Motorway Red Cow roundabout formwork

Geotub formwork was used to build circular columns of new bridges next to congested existing Dublin M50 Road.

Kerisper bridge, FranceKerisper-bridge La Trinitsurmer formwork

The project contained consolidation works of supporting pillars and widening of the bridge to provide additional pavement area.

Turnpike highway, FloridaTurnpike highway Florida formwork

New columns of the elevated road over Turnpike Highway and widening of the busy road were created with Geotub. Columns are 80cm wide and were built without blocking the road traffic.

About Geotub

Geotub formwork
Geotub is the formwork used to build round and oval columns with diameters from 20 to 100 cm. It provides various solutions: seismic hazard adjustment of columns, renovation of degraded columns, precast columns creation, and building foundations for electricity pylons. Geotub is:

  • Light formwork, easily mountable and removable,
  • Suitable to build columns of up to 6 m height,
  • Permits work on heights with safety higher than with other formwork systems,
  • Creates smooth surfaces of pillars,
  • Highly resistant (80 KN/m2),
  • Recyclable.
