Preassembly of one of the symmetrical halves that form the inner formwork
\nfor the Cebu Link Expressway main bridge. In the preassembly a simulation
\nof the movement the formwork will have to do is conducted to test its
\ncorrect operation. Due to the situation of the anchors an auxiliary
\nstructure had to be manufactured to substitute the bride\u2019s web, where the
\nformwork will be anchored in its operation procedure.<\/p>\n
The formwork equipment consists in a set of metallic panels capable of
\nfolding, specially made for the geometry of this project. These are
\nsustained in cantilever by a supporting structure, which is anchored to the
\nweb of a previously made segment. A series of skidding shoes form a special
\nstructure that allows the whole equipment to move independently along the
\nbridge\u2019s alignment. The folding movement of the panels and the adaptability
\nof the structure permits the absorption of changes along the formwork\u2019s
\npath such as changes in the web or addition of longitudinal Post tensioning
\nwedges.<\/p>\n
