The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The construction of the Razdrto – Podnanos expressway across Rebrnice is, in structural and geological terms, one of the most demanding routes in Slovenia. Along the entire route there are as many as eight viaducts, two covered cuts and two tunnels, and between them a whole series of retaining walls and other support measures. The diploma thesis presents one of the structures – the Polance viaduct, where, due to the given conditions (longitudinal gradient of the alignment 5%, necessity of positioning the launching station on the lower side of the viaduct), the company Primorje was the first to test the technology of incremental launching of the superstructure in the upward direction under such extreme conditions.

Solution and Method
The diploma thesis presents one of the structures – the Polance viaduct, where, due to the given conditions (longitudinal gradient of the alignment 5%, necessity of positioning the launching station on the lower side of the viaduct), the company Primorje was the first to test the technology of incremental launching of the superstructure in the upward direction under such extreme conditions. This was carried out using hydraulic cylinders and an endless screw. Thanks to well-thought-out details, the launching proceeded without surprises, whilst also being very fast.

Your diploma project for a real company.
A diploma thesis at Academia solves a challenge from a company – often the one where you do your 800 hours of placement. Read about the Gradbeništvo module or book a consultation.
