The Freyssinet Belgium has already a long history : it begins in 1937, as Laboratoire de Cinématique. This company was the first in Europe (after France) to use the prestressing system developed by Freyssinet.
In 1989, Laboratoire de Cinématique and Cipec Belgium join their forces to start Freyssinet Belgium.
Innovation, team-working and quality are the main strong points of Freyssinet Belgium.

The Kanne suspended bridge ( Belgium ): the last Freyssinet innovation
|
|
The Kanne bridge crosses the Albert Canal near Kanne. To enable the widening of the canal, the old arch bridge was to be replaced by a longer bridge. Being the first suspension bridge built in Belgium since 1960’s, the owner paid a lot of attention to durability.
Freyssinet has proposed to use the Cohestrand system for the main cables. These 75 strands cables are the first industrial scale application of the Cohestrand on a suspension bridge. |
