General Information: VBC - VARIOKIT Balanced Cantilever Carriage

This document provides information on the VBC - VARIOKIT Balanced Cantilever Carriage system from PERI. It discusses the main assumptions of the balanced cantilever construction method, how the PERI VBC Carriage works, the standard procedure using it, and benefits such as safety, time savings, and user-friendly handling. Examples of reference projects where it has been used for bridges in Poland, Hungary, Russia, Macedonia, and other locations are also presented.

1 Typical span lenghts for balanced cantilever method 70 – 300 m


2 Minimum pier table lenght for assembling two independent VBC carriages on top of it 11,4 m
worldwide standard – 12 m

3 Maximum pouring segment lenght with VBC carriage up to 5,75 m


worldwide standard – 3-5 m

4 Maximum pouring segment weight with VBC carriage (for two framed systems) up to 300 t
worldwide standard – tailor made
and rental solutions up to 250 t

5 Assembly time of one pair of VBC carriages 3 – 8 weeks


6 Crane capacity required during assembly 6 – 10 t
(depending bridge geometry)

7 Cycle duration (days per segment) 5 – 14 days

Features, advantages and benefits
Range of PERI

With over 60 subsidiaries, PERI supports construction sites in more than 90 countries
Wide range of products
VBC is a rental system
High bearing capacity and pouring segement lenght

Pouring segment weight – up to 300 t


Pouring segment lenght – up to 5,75 m

Example bridge optimisation:


Designed segment division:
10 segments/cantilever
40 segments/bridge lane
81 m segment length – 3,45 m

Optimised segment division:


6 segments/cantilever
24 segments/bridge lane
segment length – 5,75 m
16 SEGMENTS LESS PER LANE
Other benefits

SAFETY
TIME SAVINGS
USER FRIENDLY HANDLING
Idea of time savings

1 man-hour/segment
17 segments/cantilever
8 cantilevers/lane
2 lanes/bridge
