Project
Counterweights for movable bridge
For the drawbridge in Stalhille we supplied the counterweights (4 x 4600 kg) that are attached at the top of the four pillars.
The bridge is a completely new type in its kind and was designed by engineering firm Ney & Partners.
Winner of the Steel Construction Prize 2008 elected in Category D: Civil Engineering. Winner of the Footbridge Awards 2011 'Technical short-span'
The patterns were made in polystyrene so no draft was applied to the pieces and the design remains very sleek.
What we have done
- Pattern production in Polystyrene.
- Casting of the counterweights and machining fastening surfaces and holes.
- Blasting and metallizing.
- Pedestrian bridge Stalhille
- Final customer : Flemish government
