 ABOUT THE EVENT
Recent collapses of under construction bridge decks using erection equipment tailored to the specific project has
caused alarm in India and elsewhere in the world. Such failures are a setback to the project and lead to severe time and
cost overruns.
Innovations in BDEE (Bridge Deck Erection Equipment) and techniques have allowed for rapid erection of bridge super
structures and this technology is continually evolving with a number of innovations. Each type of equipment interacts
with the bridge deck in a different manner and this loading has to be accounted for in the design and construction
phase analyses. Selection of the correct type of erection system is one of the most important aspects for a chosen type
of superstructure and manner in which it will be erected - this must be decided at the concept stage itself, by
interaction between all the project stakeholders, contractors, designers, equipment suppliers and the client.
For the first time a lecture series of specific webinars by international experts is being organised by the Indian National
Group of the IABSE, based on the contents of the book titled ‘Bridge Deck Erection Equipment: A best practice guide’, a
joint publication of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), UK and International Association of Bridge and Structural
Engineering (IABSE). The book is the work of Working Group:6 of IABSE. The lectures will cover all types and aspects of
bridge erection equipment, encompassing the total technology involving choice of type, analysis and design,
operations in use, safety, economy and case studies.
Members of the bridge and structural engineering community, worldwide, are invited to enrol for this unique series of
webinars by experts on the subject and update themselves with the latest developments and enrich their knowledge.
All registered participants will be eligible for a 15% discount on purchase of the above referred book.
