Bouygues Construction stated that 23 segment cells will be needed to keep up the pace with the precast cycle.

Construction crews will build viaduct deck span by span using four launching girders simultaneously, thus reducing the overall construction programme.

The on-site work, which will last for 30 months, will employ 500 people at peak periods.

VSL International has been working with post-tensioned and cable-stayed concrete structures, foundations and soil engineering. It is part of Bouygues Construction’s Civil Works division and works with Bouygues Travaux Publics.

With offices in 30 nations, VSL contributes to the construction, maintenance and repair of major technical structures.
