Located in the Czech capital, the tunnel is part of 8 km of infrastructure to relocate traffic underground. A series
of large tunnels make up the complex network of ventilation ducts. Amongst them the SO 05 stands out as the

Tunnel SO 04: two consecutive tunnels with different formwork carriages with structures pre-assembled in
sections and vault lengths, in addition to the bottom warehouse, which eased the erection and saved valuable
and side walls, had to be built. This was all done with working time.
For the STT tunnel, the one with the highest traffic
density, the walls of the ventilation ducts beneath the
floor were built with form carriages. Their simple and
easy handling was increased by the use of pre-assembled
formwork units. ENKOFLEX was used as slab formwork.

The expansion of the Añorga-Rekalde stretch on the Bilbao-San Sebastian railway, with the construction of a
new train station, improves train access and replaces the existing crossing between platforms with an underpass.
Another 71.16 m long, 5.7 m high, and 8 m wide tunnel was built in
stretches of 10 m each. The formwork was supported and advanced on rails.
The construction work was carried out so as not to interfere with the passage
of either trains or travellers. Temporary non-slip pedestrian bridges, 44 m in
length and 16 m in height, equipped with trusses and access ramps, were
erected using BRIO scaffolding.

// Project for the improvement of the GUSBUS South Entrance, Brisbane, Australia
Contractor: Lend Lease (Abigroup)
The Australian and the Queensland Government jointly financed the design and construction of improvements
to the city’s south entrance (GUSBUS).
Roads, motorways, and access roads were modernised and extended.
ULMA also supplied ORMA and ENKOFORM VMK for wall formwork and
ENKOFLEX for the slabs.
Both projects, underpass no. 1 and no. 2, are examples of ULMA as a leading
formwork supplier who offers innovative solutions and a positive working experience.
