EDT EURODIMA assists in bridge upgrade Regardless of the bad weather, all concrete cutting tasks were accomplished to the satisfaction of the principal contractor. www.eurodima.com In Salzburg, Austria, the expansion of the S-Bahn urban railway has been progressing in recent years. To finalise the works, the remaining narrow point had to be extended. Around the central railway station the old railway bridges were torn down and replaced with new. The bridge, with its five lines, over the Rainerstrasse was the first one to be replaced, as it was too weak for the new S-Bahn and the high performance railway line to Munich. Challenge to keep trains running The challenge was to keep the trains running to Germany and Western Austria during the construction works, so a part of the bridge had to remain open with two lines. The schedule was to build one half in 2009 and the other in 2010. The first part started in March 2009. The two remaining lines and the bridge structure had to be separated from the remaining section. As this was a concrete lined beam bridge, diamond technology was chosen for the task. The local concrete cutting specialist Seidl, a EDT EURODIMA and was assigned to carry out the work by the site’s principal contractor. To avoid disturbance to traffic under the bridge, the work was scheduled on weekends only. The Rainerstrasse was blocked from Saturday 4a.m. until Monday 5a.m. and the concrete cutting was arranged for Sunday from 5a.m. to 3p.m during a traffic diversion. Planning was critical to carry out the tasks in the time frame. Seidl’s concept was to do the separating cut with three hydraulic 30kW wall saws and an electro-pneumatic wire saw. The cuts were 20m long and 400mm deep and 600mm deep at the foundations. In the range of the flyover 12 beams and some steel plates ranging from100mm to 300mm also had to be cut. Diamond tools with DURAMANT In addition two openings of 1m x1m x0.8m also had to be cut for bridge underpinning. Here a steel beam had to be cut, as well as concrete covered steel underpinning at the pedestrian passageway. The big EDT EURODIMA wire saw wb12s was used for this task with DS40FBLUE diamond wire with 40 beads per running metre, 10.5 mm outer diameter and 2 mm active wear layer. Seidl consulted the EDT EURODIMA technician and chose to use the WS30 diamond saw blades with the new DURAMANT® segments, with width 5 mm for 600 mm diameter, 4.7mm for 825mm diameter and 4.4mm for 1200mm and 1500mm diameter saw blades. The EDT EURODIMA wall saws WM90 with hydraulic unit HA300 in combination with the DURAMANT tools accomplished this challenging task reliably as usual. Seidl used six concrete cutting experts to operate all the machines. Despite the change from wintertime to summertime, with that night being shorter by one hour, work started early at 5a.m. and the task was completed by 2.30p.m. Good coordination was needed to use the machines economically.
