Project

Construction of the world’s first zero-energy bascule bridge


LocationKampen, Netherlands

PurposeThe N50 expressway is being widened to increase safety and improve traffic flow.

Formwork systems
  • NOEtop wall formwork
  • NOE AB 300 hinged working platform


Special featuresThe special feature of the project is the replacement of the existing Ramspol Bridge with a higher and wider bascule bridge. Once complete, the new Ramspol Bridge will be the first energy-neutral bascule bridge anywhere in the world. Energy neutral means the energy required to open and close the bascule bridge is created by the bridge itself.
