For the assembly of the beams, equipment imported from China was used for the first time in Brazil to perform the launching beam method. In this method, the equipment lifts the beams and then moves along the transverse beams to place them onto the existing structure.The beams are manufactured at the on-site concrete plant, which produces all the material used, including the beams and slabs for the entire project.
