DESCRIPTION
ERSI Group manufactured, prefabricated and assembled industrial corrugated steel reinforcements for the Vasco de Gama bridge.
It is the longest bridge in Europe with a length of 18 km. In the 18 km of length we can distinguish several structures including the Suspension Bridge and the Central Viaduct. The former has a span between pylons of 420 m and the latter is the longest of the bridge with 6.5 km.
It is the longest road bridge in Europe.
The reinforcement prefabrication methods made it possible to construct 18 km of bridge in a record time of two years.
