Examples of integrating hydraulic equipment into temporary works

Abstract

This paper focuses on the integration of hydraulic equipment into temporary works, and how they can work together to provide safe and effective solutions across different fields of civil engineering. It focuses on the challenges faced by the temporary works designer when integrating hydraulics into modular construction methods for structures such as high-rise buildings, airport infrastructure and sport stadia, with notable examples provided from around the world. It also covers high-capacity tower systems for refinery construction and various bridge construction projects, from concrete viaducts to suspension bridges.
