- John Iliff, Senior Project Manager (Structures), National Roads Authority

Infrastructure spending in Central and Eastern Europe has gone through the roof. Theemerging economies of Europe need pioneering bridges, motorways, railways and viaducts in orderto fuel their development and complete integration with the established economies of the continent.Governments from across the region have been passing legislation to make construction processeseasier, planning applications more flexible and partnerships with foreign companies more workable.Poland’s New Road Super Act, Romania’s Autostrada Transilvania and Hungary’s M6 Motorway arejust a few examples of the massive investments being made in major bridge and motorway projects.

Developing a Ground-Breaking Technique forStrengthening Box Girder Structures – The FoyleBridge, Northern IrelandGrowing traffic volumes puts added strain and pressure on manyhighway bridge systems. The 866m – long, Foyle Bridge in NorthernIreland is no exception and required large scale strengthening worksto ensure safety and design standards were upheld• An imaginative and less intrusive method of inspection resulted in

minimum disruption to traffic, no weather dependance lessrequirement for temporary works and less risk of working fromgantries

• Achieving successful structural monitoring through the collectionand interpretation of large amounts of good quality data

• Fabricating steel tubes off site, making it quicker and easier than on-site working

STOP PRESS: Last Minute Special Project AdditionDesigning the World’s Largest Curved Cable-StayedBridge as a Part of a Major Motorway Network: The‘Lange Wapper’ Bridge, Antwerp, BelgiumThe purpose of the “Oosterweelverbinding” works is to carry out theclosing of the Antwerp motorway ring. Over a distance ofapproximately 2km from the west towards the east, it crosses anumber of large scale obstacles including a large size river lock, amaritime dock and a canal; creating a whole host of challenges forthe design team• Creating a design to deal with foreseeable densities of traffic • Overcoming limitations of ground space by directing design choices

towards an innovative double deck viaduct• Incorporating a design that increases protection for traffic lanes

from sun and bad weather• Utilising wind tunnel tests to evaluate aerodynamic coefficients and

aero-elastic stability of the deck

TAILOR MADE MASTERCLASSES TO GUIDE YOUTHROUGH THE WHOLE PROJECT LIFECYCLE

Rationale: One of your resounding suggestions from our conference in June, wasthat you wanted to hear more about future projects, straight fromthose responsible for their implementation. In response we havedevised this special evening masterclass to deliver just that. Led by theNational Roads Authority’s, John Iliff, the Pan-European Project Pipelinewill bring together the key speakers from the conference to give adeeper insight into future projects. Not only will they give you moreinto what opportunities lye on the horizon but they will also address anumber of burning questions that surround the preparation of majorprojects, including:

Agenda:• What are the key practical challenges in bidding for these projects

successfully?• What lessons can be learnt from past experience on how to deliver

them successfully and meet their expectations?• How you can factor sustainability and climate change considerations

into budgeting and project designs to increase bid competitivenessand PPP success?

• How can you best contribute towards conceptplanning, feasibility and design?

• How can you work together todetermine and understand projectneeds?

A Wednesday 3rd November, 2010 – 5.15pm – 7.15pm

The Pan-European Project Pipeline – Putting into Action Future Projects through EffectivePreparation, Planning and Procurement

Rationale: It is your responsibility to ensure the safe operation and long service lifeof your structures. But, as I’m sure you’ve experienced, this becomesmore of a challenge when faced with tightening operation andmaintenance budgets. It is therefore imperative that you are up to datewith the newest innovations in technology and analysis methods. This isthe only way for you to find the most efficient and cost effective meansto ensure structural safety.

Led by Phil Bailey, Director of Structures for Hyder Consulting, this tailormade evening masterclass will provide you with the latest innovationsso that you uphold both your responsibility and the integrity of thestructure that you created. Issues that will be addressed include:

Agenda:• Early inspection and monitoring – how can identification and

quantification of bridge damage lead to more cost effectivemaintenance solutions?

• Assessing the use of advanced monitoring systems – can they alwaysreveal bridge deterioration at an early stage and hence significantlyreduce the risk of unforseen operation and maintenance costs?

• Analysing concrete and steel deterioration mechanisms• Using special investigations and full scale trials to determine bridge

conditioning• Evaluating all structural assessments from simple survey methods to

fully 3 dimensional probabilistic analyses• Offering flexible approaches to rehabilitation projects to minimise

traffic interruptions and inspection needs• Comparing strategies for the long term maintenance of bridge

systems

Ensuring Structural Safety and Improved Sustainability through the Repair, Maintenanceand Long Term Management of Modern Bridge Systems

Wednesday, 3rd November 2010 – Friday 5th November 2010


“I’m really pleased so many of my colleagues are embracing IQPC’s ‘Bridges Construction 2010’ as guest presenters. I am certainly looking forward to hearing about their `projects but also sharing the experiences I’ve picked up along the way. I feel this summit will allow us to

discuss the hurdles we face and find ways of overcoming them. I anticipate that this event will be well received by the Bridge Building community and I look forward to meeting old friends and making new ones.” – Michael Mix, Project Manager, AUTOSTRADA TRANSILVANIA, BECHTEL

Gerald Stockl, Project Manager, ASFINAG

Rationale: After researching with 76 project managers, just like you, from acrossEurope, one resounding driver was reiterated to me over and over again– what can I do to get my project completed on time and on budget?This still reigns as the primary motivation for most project managerswho want to fulfil their client expectations and build upon theirreputation.

Each individual project will throw up unique challenges on constructingamongst difficult terrain to building structures on varied soils andunpredictable geotechnical conditions. The only weapon to fightagainst these myriad of challenges are to learn the lessons experiencedby other project managers.

This tailored workshop will draw upon the lessons learnt during thedelivery of other major projects. The session will be led by StefanHerschler from Bilfinger Berger. He will focus upon the enormoussuccess of the Golden Ears Bridge in Vancouver, awarded, ‘Deal of theYear’ by the Infrastructure Journal UK. He will be joined by Ionnis S.Koutras, project manager for the Egnatia Odos motorway developmentand Philip Brown, project manager of the Samuel Beckett Bridge inDublin. All of them will share their project delivery tips and techniques,addressing issues such as:

Agenda:• Producing and preassembling bridge components off site to minimise

disturbance to commercial and recreational users• Devising new launching systems to overcome difficulties with terrain• Close cooperation with local communities and organizations as the

key to the successful completion of the Project• Building relationships with local contractors and maximising the

knowledge and skills of local partners• Overcoming geotechnical problems including; deep cuts and high

embankments, landslide areas and constructing major structuresformed on piles or rock sockets

Your Masterclass FacilitatorsStefan Herschler, Project Manager and Director of Finance, GoldenEars Bridge Vancouver, Bilfinger Berger, CanadaStefan will be presenting on the Golden Ears Bridge – launched prior tothe Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010. The project has been hailed asan enormous success both for its preparation, sustainable andenvironmentally friendly construction practices and record completionmonths ahead of schedule!

Minimising Time and Cost Pressures Through a Well Conceived and Well Executed ProjectDelivery Strategy

Rationale: The enforcement of the Eurocodes in April of this year means thatunderstanding and complying to the new design codes is a legalimperative that you must obey. However it is only when you begin tounderstand the true objectives and implications of the codes that thereal advantages begin to surface.

This seminar will explore how you can drastically reduce material costs,improve efficiency in design and move towards more cost efficient andsustainable structures by adopting the Eurocodes.
