Rail Baltica Bridge Over Neris River, Lithuania
Rail Baltica Bridge over the Neris River, Lithuania
The construction of the Rail Baltica Bridge over the Neris River near Jonava marks a significant milestone in the region’s railway infrastructure. Stretching 1.5 kilometers, this bridge will not only be the longest in Lithuania but also the entire Baltic States. Designed with a variety of spans—including cast-in-place from traveler, cast-in-place supported on falsework, and span-by-span cantilever—the project showcases advanced engineering techniques and a commitment to environmental protection.
Dextra plays a vital role in ensuring the structural integrity of the bridge by supplying Sonitec crosshole sonic logging (CSL) testing tubes for the testing of piles. CSL testing is a crucial procedure that provides real-time insights into the quality and integrity of concrete in the piles, ensuring they meet stringent safety standards. This advanced technology enables engineers to detect anomalies and assess the quality of the concrete, ensuring the long-term durability of the bridge.
L'utilisation de Sonitec is particularly important given the bridge’s engineering complexity and the environmental considerations surrounding its construction. By integrating this technology, Dextra helps to uphold the highest standards of construction and environmental stewardship.
