Bridges, connecting all the right elements... by BESIX Group
Here are a few examples of how we excelled in creating sustainable solutions when it comes to connecting sides.
1. The Shindagha Infinity Bridge (Dubai)
2. The Bluewaters Pedestrian Bridge (Dubai)
The Bluewaters pedestrian bridge is a 350 m long footbridge that links the artificial Bluewaters Island to the Dubai coast. It was completed in 2017 by Six Construct, after a fast-paced 12 months’ construction process.
A key factor in delivering the project within such a tight schedule was the fact that Six Construct was responsible for the design and build of the structure. This allowed the team to incorporate the requirements for its construction from the design phase and respect the deadline.
Another remarkable aspect of the project was BESIX’s respect for the original budget whilst integrating the daring geometry of the deck planned by the architect in the design. BESIX proposed a lightweight design which was less imposing and preserved the view of the Ain Dubai, the Gulf and the coastline. In the new configuration proposed by BESIX, the deck rests on slender pillars emerging from the water. A gap of 77 m between the pillars ensures that boats can enter the marina.
