The Neulandpark in Leverkusen was developed on the site of a former landfill, which had been restored to its natural state for the State Garden Show of North-Rhine Westphalia in 2005. The Neuland Bridge connects two areas of the park which were divided by the Rheinallee. We were commissioned with the structural engineering of this bridge.
The unusual, dynamic shape of the truss girder bridge was a result of the undulating terrain and the headroom required for traffic on the Rheinallee. Since the soil, the former landfill, had only a modest ground-bearing capacity, we optimised the support structure so as to minimise the foundation loads.
Comprehensive dynamic surveys, measurements on site and calculations were carried out for the project, ensuring that the bridge fulfilled all the requirements relating to its serviceability.
