Our case studies

Planned widening works to an 80-year old bridge in the congested urban setting of Ho Chi Minh city centre had to be reconsidered after thorough analysis revealed the structure’s true condition.

Russky Island cable-stayed bridge pushed the limit for cable-stayed structures, its main span setting a new world record and demanding extra-long cables designed for the region’s harsh climate.

When a bolt of lightning damaged the cable system, the cable-stayed bridge lightning protection had to be carried out along with the emergency replacement of one of the cables.

A complex and innovative system for casting, assembling and post-tensioning tree-shaped concrete columns was the key to bringing to life the architect’s vision for a new national museum in Marseille

Corroded stay cables on the only bridge to Penang Island were replaced under traffic – a world-first operation that was made more challenging by the lack of any redundancy in the system.

Space for a new elevated light rail system in the capital was in short supply. Freyssinet’s proposal to introduce a seismic isolated superstructure addressed this and even led to a 20 % reduction in costs.

A short timescale for assembly and erection of a cable-net roof on a new stadium in Las Vegas drove the creation of a digital site management tool that saved time and improved quality control.

Bearings to support the cryostat chamber inside the ground-breaking International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in south east France had to meet stringent requirements.

Almost five hundred special isolation bearings were manufactured and installed with high precision to protect the International Thermo-nuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) from earthquake damage.
