Abstract:
Projects located in developing countries present logistic difficulties that require a close partnership between the design and construction teams. The design team needs to solve the logistic problems by simplifying and reducing the amount of in-situ operations. Modular design solutions using prefabricated steel elements minimise the teams and operations necessary in-situ, reducing considerably the execution deadlines. The Awash-Kombolcha-Hara Gebaya project includes 59 railway bridges and 6 road overpasses.
