Integration of Lean Con. and Building Information Modelling
Cargo operations have been moved to another
part of the city to make place for development of some 9,000 new dwellings, giving rise to the need for a new road bridge.
Figure 9.8.1 shows a rendering of the cable-stayed bridge in its setting in Helsinki harbour.
Construction of the Crusell Bridge project began in the Fall of 2008, and completion was scheduled for late 2010. The
bridge was designed by WSP Finland and constructed by Skanska Civils. It has two asymmetrical cable-stayed spans,
measuring 92.0 m and 51.5 m (the total length is 143.5 m), and has a traffic clearance width of 24.8 m. The superstructure
of the bridge is composed of longitudinally pre-stressed concrete beams; the horizontal structure is a composite steel and
concrete structure, as illustrated in figures 9.8.2 and 9.8.3.
