Moldtech was selected to participate in a project related to the Mombasa ring road in Kenya.
This Project included the construction of motorway bridges using Aastho IV and Aastho VI pre-casted and post-tensioned girders. The Aasho IV girders have a length of approximately 30 meters and weigh around 48 tons whereas the Aastho VI come in a length of approximately 40 meters and a weight of 81 tons. Supplied equipment:
- Universal casting bed system with a total length of 400 m with special arrangement to make the mould compatible with the post-tensioning operations.
- Side moulds for the bridge girders with a total length of 200 m.
PRODUCTS TO PRECAST: AASHTO type post-tensioned bridge girders.
Apart from the Aastho girders moulds, the client also requested so-called plank moulds which fabricate pre-stressed hollow core deck slabs:
- Special universal casting bed with a total length of 130 m.
- 8 hinged “plank”-type mould sides with height of 60 cm and a length of 14.7 meters.
