Europress is supplying hydraulic launching equipment with threaded bars for the construction of the Tre Vescovi viaduct in Casacastalda (Valfabbrica, Perugia), a key infrastructure project along the Perugia-Ancona highway. Our systems have been used to support operations in two main phases:

• For the pushing activities at abutment: 2 power packs 700 bar remote controlled and 4 hollow cylinders for a total of 600 tons and 600 mm stroke
• To correct deflection when the launching nose reaches the pier: 1 radio-controlled split-flow powerpack and 2 cylinders for a total of 700 tons in push and 400 in pull.

The section to be built, including two new tunnels, is approximately 3 km long. The works, entrusted to Castaldo SpA, involve the construction of a second carriageway alongside the existing one, openedto traffic in 2016 as a variant of the old road route. The works are scheduled to be completed by 2025 and represent an important step forward in improving mobility in the Umbria region.
