ABM installs precast arch bridge in Czech Republic
ABM Precast Solutions has completed the rapid installation of a new precast concrete arch bridge in the Czech Republic, enabling a cycle route to pass safely beneath a private rail line serving Heidelberg’s Mokra cement factory.
Working in partnership with ABM Mosty, the project involved delivering and installing precast arches — each leg with integrated heel sections weighing 11 tonnes and roof sections weighing 6 tonnes. The entire programme was completed in just 84 hours, within a five-day rail possession window agreed to minimise disruption to operations.
Commissioned by PORR Česko a Slovensko, the scheme was part of a local initiative to expand sustainable transport infrastructure. It provides a safe crossing point for cyclists beneath the rail line and forms part of a wider network funded by neighbouring villages.
Earthworks and filming were provided by ADstavby, with the project showcasing the speed and precision possible through offsite construction.
ABM said the bridge demonstrated how close collaboration and precast expertise can deliver complex infrastructure in compressed timescales while supporting modal shift and active travel.
