Austria Millimeter Strength Tender

The highlight of the new construction of the railway bridge over the Vomperbach in the Tyrolean Lower Inn Valley the structure today apparently slipped effortlessly to its destination. The insert succeeded the new bridge goes into operation on the 16th of August.For months this moment was worked in the truest sense of the word - and feverishly. The insertion of a whole railway bridge is always an experience and a challenge for the involved engineers and technicians. The old Vomperbach bridge on the Upper Austrian railway line through the Lower Inn Valley has reached the end of its technical life after about 150 years. The replacement with a modern reinforced concrete composite structure was unavoidable. Since September of the previous year work is taking place right next to the Pill-Vomperbach stop. The new bridge with a length of about 40 meters and a width of 16 meters was built directly next to the railway line. A concrete deck slab was poured into a steel trough structure. Alone for it were around 2. 000 m or more than 330 truckloads of concrete required. The finished bridge has a total weight of 2000 tons equivalent to the weight of 23 Taurus locomotives 86 tons.2000 tonnes glide over teflon tracksAs a highlight of the construction work the new bridge was successfully brought to its final position today Thursday August 1 2019 in a veritable show of strength. Before that with the beginning of the total blockage of the line since July 27 the track and superstructure of the old bridge had to be dismantled the existing structure had to be demolished and the new abutments erected. When the bridge is inserted it is moved actually pulled by means of hydraulic presses and steel cables. The structure glides over Teflon tracks and covers about 26 centimeters at each stroke. The whole action on Thursday lasted 2.5 hours and went much faster than planned much to the delight of everyone involved.Track closure lasts until 16 AugustMit dem Brckeneinschub ist wohl der spannendste Teil der Baustelle gut ber die Bhne gegangen das Ende der Arbeiten bedeutet er aber noch nicht. In der Zeit bis zum geplanten Ende der Streckensperre am 16. August mssen die Arbeiter noch Gleisbett Schienen Sicherungsanlage und Oberleitung wiederherstellen. Vor der endgltigen Freigabe muss die Brcke mit der Belastungsprobe durch mehrere Lokomotiven noch ihre Feuertaufe bestehen. In den Neubau der Vomperbachbrcke werden rund 85 Mio. Euro investiert. Die BB haben fr die Dauer der Sperre fr die S-Bahnen einen Schienenersatzverkehr mit Bussen zwischen den Bahnhfen Jenbach und Fritzens-Wattens eingerichtet. REX-Zge werden ber die unterirdische Neubaustrecke umgeleitet und knnen daher die Halte in Schwaz und Fritzens-Wattens nicht bedienen. Die BB haben dafr zustzliche Zubringer- bzw. Abholerbusse nach Jenbach bzw. Hall in Tirol eingerichtet.
