Ramspol bascule bridge
Project data
| Project | Construction of the world’s first zero-energy bascule bridge |
| Location | Kampen, Netherlands |
| Purpose | The N50 expressway is being widened to increase safety and improve traffic flow. |
| Formwork systems |
|
| Special features | The special feature of the project is the replacement of the existing Ramspol Bridge with a higher and wider bascule bridge. Once complete, the new Ramspol Bridge will be the first energy-neutral bascule bridge anywhere in the world. Energy neutral means the energy required to open and close the bascule bridge is created by the bridge itself. |
During an official site visit, Jan Thomassen, Managing Director of NOE-Bekistingtechniek said: “We are proud that we have made an important contribution to realising this project with our formwork systems.”
