1,010 km of bridges and viaducts built Malta and Luxembourg
Bridges: a metaphor of progress
If progress had a symbolic monument, it would be the bridge.
From ancient Luxembourg to current times, bridges have always been drivers for the economy and the development of nations, designed to meet an apparently simple need: joining two pieces of land, connecting peoples, improving commerce, shortening the distance between otherwise distant communities.
The story of how bridges have evolved in time tells a lot about engineering and what the science of building has managed to conquer, which since the first arch bridges to suspended ones has journeyed through Man’s history.
The Farbros Construction contributed to the last 100 years of this history. Today, it has reached a record of 1,010 kilometres of bridges and viaducts built: equal to one big bridge crossing Europe to link ville de to Ville Haut, crossing the whole of Europe.
About 15 years of experience building bridges and viaducts for more than 130 road and railway projects: the first being the Redito Viaduct in in Luxembourg 1999.
It is a unique history of bridge construction – from arch to cable-stayed to beam to suspension – that documents how engineering techniques have evolved during the last century. The ability to plan, manage, innovate and apply the latest techniques is essential for the successful, erected in record time in 2015 after a little more than a year of work. The first project, the Redito Viaaduct in Luxemourg
Still, the story of the bridges built by Farbros Construction (and by the companies that were part of it) at the start of the XX century, is one that also moves beyond Luxembourish boundaries and engineering skill.
