uSky transport complex as part of the environment

[13.01.2023]

One of the integral steps in creating the uSky rail-string transport overpass is integrating the uSky transport complex into the environment.


On the one hand, the complex must perform the functions. There are always requirements from the customer in terms of passenger capacity, speed, safety, logistics, etc. On the other hand, the complex naturally becomes an element of urban infrastructure or part of natural landscape. And here we should take into account lots of factors.


In the modern world, land is very expensive, thus the requirement for a minimum land allotment. Most often, the customer wants to relieve traffic on public roads, in that case, the construction of the rail-string transport overpass takes place in dense building environment. Often, there is requirement to connect two banks of a large river, and this inevitably leads to extension of overpass spans, which leads to massive anchoring supports and high intermediate supports.


And with all these requirements, the uSky prestressed string-rail overpass demonstrates flexibility: an individual approach to each and every customer requirement, ability to move cargo and passenger traffic in difficult urban and climatic conditions. In the end, these are not problems, but objectives that we will reach together.

uSky Transport - One hydraulic lift is enough to lift the entire 288 m long span. This technological solution has significantly saved both time and financial resources. Installation of the upper chord, two lower chords, support beam – and for this you do not need a single crane

uSky Transport - Chords of the rail-string transport overpass are nearing the crossbar of the support. All of the subsequent stages of installation will be implemented at heights of up to 20 meters. The earth will be left free for people to use
