Thanks to the VCT Composite Track, it is possible to construct composite steel bridges with an in-situ concrete carriageway slab without the need for formwork carriage supports. The supports’ problematic block dowel effect is eliminated. In addition, there is no need to seal any penetration holes in the carriageway slab at a later date, which improves the quality of the carriageway slab, On the construction site, you have unobstructed access from above. This speeds up your cycle times enormously, enabling a weekly cycle.
VCT is the steel composite solution that takes the fast lane and offers numerous advantages - without supports and penetration of the carriageway slab and with unobstructed access from above.
The requirements of the RE-ING directive with regard to concrete carriageway slab production using a formwork carriage that runs underneath the carriageway are met when the VCT Composite Track is deployed. As a result, no formwork carriage supports or other carriageway penetra- tions are required. The result of this is a high-quality in-situ concrete carriageway slab. Furthermore, VCT offers two mounting options - using either a welded-on tie plate, or a hole in the flange.
Unobstructed access from above speeds up reinforcement and concreting work, making weekly cycles possible.
The pressure rollers run on a formlining strip that protects the coated steel structure. Adjustable pressure rollers make it possible to pass over stiffeners.
VCT is flexible with respect to its positioning and offers safe hydraulic operation using the back-step method.
The system can always be positioned independently of the suspension points, even for concreting.
