ABES assemCon
Superior geometry forecasts, setting-out data, shimming optimisation, and quality control during segmental bridge construction. ABES assemCon combines a detailed stage-by-stage model with survey data from the construction site.
General Functions
- On-site setting out data
- Geometry forecasting during construction
- Ongoing cross-checks with target points throughout construction
- Simulation and optimisation of corrective measures - e.g. shimming
- Accurate consideration of as-cast geometry, on-site survey data, and construction stage deflections
- Quality assurance through error tracking and error analysis functions
- Record of construction history and final as-built geometr
Optimised As-Built Geometry
- Optimised setting-out data for starter segments
- Accounting for casting imperfections introduced in the casting yard
- Tracking and adapting to on-site survey data
- Consideration of construction stage deflections
- Geometry forecasts throughout construction
- Optimisation of shimming strategies
- Documentation and quality control
Adaptability
- Balanced cantilevers, span-by-span, any other construction method
- Bridge girders, pylons, inclined members
- Interfaces to CAD packages, spreadsheet programs, and word processing software
