Bridge launching gantries and special carriers

Launching gantries, launching girders and special carriers for span-by-span erection of bridges and viaducts. Eden Tech designs and builds them to order, drawing on the experience our team gained on machines up to 990 t at Paolo De Nicola S.p.A. and Eden Technology Srl.

EXPERIENCE OF OUR TEAM

At Paolo De Nicola S.p.A. and Eden Technology Srl, members of today’s Eden Tech team worked on over sixty machines for the Chinese high-speed rail and bridge programme alone — launching girders and gantries from 450 to 910 t, tyre trolleys, special carriers and twisting gantries.

Outside China, launching gantries, launching girders and special carriers up to 990 t went to the Netherlands, Malaysia, South Korea, Italy and Egypt — for span-by-span erection, precast beam launching and in-situ formwork with steam curing.
