The King Louis Bridge is listed as a heritage building; built in 1852, with a length of about 403 ft, it is an outstanding example of civil engineering in Germany. Since 1986, the former railroad bridge, made of timber and steel, has been used as a pedestrian and cyclist bridge across the more than 98-ft-deep river incision in the Iller River.
The SDEA Engineering Solutions Advanced Engineering department has extensive experience in mechanical-structural analysis using the finite element method for various structure types and equipment for different industrial sectors such as steel, metalworking, oil and gas, energy, railroads, and metallurgy, among others, as well as for the construction sector.
The Infrastructure department of SDEA Engineering Solutions has extensive experience in the railroad sector, especially in designing electrification using overhead contact lines (OCS/OLE), where it has developed projects for high-speed trains in England and streetcar lines in Norway.
The scaffolding structure consists of aluminum trusses with heights varying between 1.64 ft and 3.28 ft as well as horizontal steel beams, columns, railings, and bracings. All elements are based on the PlusEight system.
The goal was to design a spiral staircase with glass steps and railings spanning 2 floors. With sophisticated anchoring details and helical stringers created from subtle rectangular hollow sections, a light and elegant staircase was formed. The interior spiral staircase is located inside the educational, training, and rehabilitation center in the city of Zlín.
The station building is an organic shaped steel structure consisting of three connected parts. The left and right building sections are formed by curved Vierendeel truss beams extruding from the main Vierendeel truss down to the reinforced concrete foundation. These main trusses are supported by a row of columns with additional vertical bracing.
The goal of the hydroelectric power plant project was to analyze the resistance of a double mechanical displacement system on rails subjected to tensile stress.
The pedestrian bridge over the Taffa River functions not only as a bridge, but includes a garden toolshed and seating along the platform. Additionally, the delicate top truss chords provide a pedestrian railing along the bridge's length.
The treetop trail in the Giant Mountains (Czech: Krkonoše) is the second experience trail created by eak (Erlebnis Akademie AG) in the Czech Republic.
Over a length of 4,922 ft, it twists through the treetops of the mixed mountain forest. It ends at a lookout tower with a height of around 141 ft, and its platform offers a breathtaking view over the Krkonoše National Park.
The engineering office Études Techniques Lyonnaises was commissioned with the structural design of the foundations for a new unloading area of an industrial site in the department of Isère, France.
The new unloading area consists of a steel structure built on a foundation plate. The total area is divided into two parts: a traffic and unloading area for rail vehicles, and an area with a pit and a traffic zone for lift trucks.
With the Crossrail railroad line in Great Britain, one of the biggest infrastructure projects of Europe is in progress. The construction costs for the 73-mile railroad line amount to about €21 billion. It runs from Reading in Berkshire in the west to Shenfield in Essex in the east, crossing through the center of London.
A branch line runs under the Thames to Woolwich and ends at the recently completed Abbey Wood Station. Its extraordinary timber roof construction has the shape of a huge manta ray which seems to hover above the station.
With a height of about 137.8 ft, the lookout tower offers a unique view over the landscape of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, into the Saar Bow Valley and, if the visibility is clear, even as far as the Vosges Mountains. The tower is the highlight of the treetop trail with a length of 4,101 ft, which allows for walks up to 75.5 ft above the forest level.
The Müngsten Viaduct, completed in 1897, ranks among the most important buildings in steel bridge construction in the world today. With a height of 351 ft over the Wupper River, it is Germany's highest railroad bridge. The design derives from the Garabit Viaduct, completed in 1884, which is located near Saint-Flour in southern France and was designed by Gustave Eiffel.
The lookout tower, with a height of about 131 ft, is the highlight of the treetop trail on Sommerberg Hill in Bad Wildbad, Germany. The viewing platform on the top of the tower offers a remarkable view over the densely wooded Central/North Schwarzwald Nature Park.
A unique structure called Sky Walk was built in Dolní Morava, Czech Republic, under Králický Sněžník Mountain at a height of 3,661.4 ft; it is unprecedented in Central Europe.
Sky Walk is a lookout trail leading up to 192 ft above the surrounding hilly terrain level. It is visible at a distance of several miles. The architectural design was created by famous Czech architect Zdeněk Fránek. The Czech company TAROS‑NOVA s.r.o., a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for the structural engineering and construction.
The railroad station forecourt at Piazza Garibaldi is fifteen acres in size and includes parks, gardens, and fountains. Between 2005 and 2013, it was renovated along with the metro station of the same name.
A unique timber structure has been located in the heart of London since the end of March 2014. In a period of just six months, the Austrian company WIEHAG built the roof with a total length of 984.2 ft for the Crossrail railroad station situated in the Canary Wharf business district.
