The Province of Monza and Brianza has entrusted Teknoprogetti s.r.l. with thedesign work of securing a road viaduct. Specifically, it is the viaduct on the SP13 Monza Melzo road (in the section under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Agrate) that was subject to accidental collision.
Last November, in fact, a passing heavy vehicle on Via Archimede caused serious damage to the lower part of the overpass.
As a result, the province ordered the activities to take place as a matter of urgency in order to minimize the inconvenience and reopen the highly trafficked stretch to free movement.
The construction site in Agrate
The estimated duration of the construction site, to allow the work to be carried out, is about 40 days.
For the entire period, in order to ensure safety, Archimedes Street, in the section adjacent to the overpass, is closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Teknoprogetti’s intervention.
Teknoprogetti s.r.l., a company specializing in structural diagnostics and design, was entrusted with the design and construction management services for the safety and structural rehabilitation of the overpass.
The planned works include localized reinforcement with carbon fibers and the construction of 4 new steel brackets for the most damaged beams.
Currently, the construction site is proceeding expeditiously, and traffic restrictions on SP13 via alternating one-way have been reduced to 4 days against the originally planned 10 days.
Continuation and Outcome of Work
Teknoprogetti carried out the technical activities of securing the SP13 Monza-Melzo road viaduct (in the section under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Agrate Brianza).
On the night of March 6-7, we supervised the load tests, which involved 12 trucks and were successful.
With the latest tests, we ascertained the full functionality of the bridge and defined the maximum loads.
The situation has been back to normal since Saturday, March 7. Below are some photographs of the load tests.
