Aggerbogen

Aggerbogen

EN

This project was one of the longest wooden bridges of this type in Germany that supports heavy vehicle traffic:
Approach bridges are made of spruce glulam (laminated) in form of timber-concrete composite
Construction creates a large shore area that ensures a rapid drainage in case of floods
The arch beams made of glulam fit in the natural environment

Wood is a suitable material also for big and long bridges in combination with other materials and with profound wood protection.

 Innovative solutions for constructive wood protection
The arch bridge is laterally covered with larch. The upper side is covered with a titanium zinc sheet.
Concepts for the subsequent use of the wood for the bridge within the framework of cascade use of wood were established
