Paradis Bridge scale model
FRP bridges have superb properties when it comes to strength/weight ratio, long durability, low maintenance and reduced carbon footprint.
Why and Whom
The bridge was delivered to Consto as main contractor to Vestland Fylkeskommune. The bridge was developed in an integrated team consisting of FiReCo, Royal Haskoning, Multiconsult, Vestland Fylkeskommune, Consto and CSUB.

Key Benefits
The light weight made it possible to pre-asemble the bridge in the factory, and transport it to site in one piece. It was installed in less than an hour, causing a minimum of traffic and rail interruptions. The low required maintenance for the bridge is also important, avoiding frequent stoppage of traffic underneath.
