Construction site: Delta Junction HS2 in Birmingham, UK

After many months of hard work, our SAMT Rebar teams are now completing the final pier caps for the 97 piers we have built to support the viaducts of the Delta Junction. All methods, templates, lifting, and transport studies were carried out by SAMT Engineering. The solution chosen with the client: prefabricating all pier caps in a dedicated area using templates, then transporting them to each support and installing them in one piece into the formwork. Each pier cap weighs around 10 tons—quite a challenge! (Client: Joint venture BBV: Balfour Beatty Vinci)
