In August 2014, YIT Construction Oy started the
construction of the new bridge intended to pass
over the former railyard in Pasila as part of the more
extensive Central Pasila building project. YIT turned to
Telinekataja for a strong steel scaffolding system, as
a turn-key solution, to support the construction of the
near 185-metre bridge formwork. The sloped form of the
bridge and the high support height meant challenges for
the implementation of reliable scaffolding structures.
“The choice to use steel scaffolding was primarily due to the
high support height of the bridge formwork and the need
to find the optimal solution to ensure occupational safety.
It was also extremely important for us that the scaffolding
supplier have experience in erecting similar scaffolding
systems,” explains
MIKKO SARESMA
, Chief Supervisor at YIT
Construction Oy.
The 14-metre-wide scaffolding system being built
beneath the bridge formwork varies from 6.5 metres to 11
metres in height. The assembly of this system, weighing
nearly 500 tonnes altogether, began on the site in mid-
October. The system primarily consists of Layher Allround
scaffolding and TG 60 shoring towers. Telinekataja began
preparations for the equipment management well in advance
during September.
“Telinekataja’s assembly team completed the erection
of the scaffolding system on schedule and, despite utilising
minimal resources, ensured uncompromised occupational
safety,” states Saresma. “Telinekataja’s logistics have worked
extremely well, and the entire project has proceeded on
schedule.”
“We reviewed the plans with our entire design department
to ensure the best possible scaffolding solution for the
demands of the site and the customer. The rise of the
bridge deck and its sloped form made the design especially
challenging,” explains
AKI PARKKINEN
, who is responsible at
Telinekataja for the design of this scaffolding.
