Strukturas AS is a Norwegian engineering company that designs and supplies mechanized temporary works used in bridge construction, including movable scaffolding systems (MSS), form travellers and associated bridge-building equipment.[5] The company is headquartered in Porsgrunn, Norway, and provides equipment together with on-site support services such as assembly, operation and dismantling planning.[3][5]

Founded in 1991, Strukturas traces its technical origins to Norwegian bridge construction developments from the early 1970s, including early MSS concepts associated with engineer Tore Gjølme.[2][6]

History

Early development

According to the company, Tore Gjølme developed early movable scaffolding system concepts while working at Olav Opedal AS (Aker group) and one of the first Norwegian MSS solutions was used in 1971.[2]

Establishment

Strukturas AS was founded in 1991 in Langesund, Norway.[6][1]

Relocation to Porsgrunn

In 2022, Strukturas moved from Langesund to Herøya Industrial Park in Porsgrunn.[7]

Ownership

Strukturas states that international investors based in Hong Kong became its main shareholders at the end of 2018.[8]

Strategic partnership

In 2021, Hünnebeck and Strukturas announced a strategic partnership in bridge construction solutions.[9]

Operations

Strukturas AS is registered in Norway (organisation number 963 175 094).[1][3] The company describes its activities as spanning bridge building equipment as well as steel structures for industry and offshore applications.[4][6]

Products and services

Bridge building equipment

Strukturas supplies equipment used for cast-in-place and precast concrete bridge deck construction, including overhead and underslung MSS solutions, form travellers for balanced cantilever construction and launching gantries for precast erection.[5]

The company offers commercial models including rental, sale and sale-with-buyback, and states that it provides site services including assembly, operation and dismantling planning, as well as labour crews for equipment delivery.[5]

Standards and fabrication

Strukturas states that its structural calculations are performed to Eurocode 3 / NS-EN 1993 and that steel structures are fabricated in CE-certified workshops in China to EN 1090 Execution Class II, using steel grades such as Q235 and Q345.[5]

Notable projects

Published case studies and industry articles describing Strukturas equipment include:

  • Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement (Long Beach, California, United States) – ASPIRE magazine reported that two underslung MSS units used for approach spans were designed and supplied by Strukturas AS.[10]
  • Rader Hochbrücke replacement (A7, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) – Implenia’s project reporting describes cooperation with Strukturas and Hünnebeck on construction solutions, and trade coverage has referred to Strukturas as Hünnebeck’s partner for balanced cantilever equipment on the project.[11][12]
  • Rail Baltica Neris railway bridge (Jonava district, Lithuania) – LTG Infra describes the project as using moving scaffolding as part of the superstructure construction approach; Strukturas has published a mobilisation update for an underslung MSS for the Neris bridge works.[13][14]
