Project details

Technical Data

  • Total length: 432.4 m
  • Standard span: 18 m
  • Width: 3.2 m

Description

The walkway establishes a connection between the Transmediteranean seaport and the new passenger halls near the World Trade Centre in the port of Barcelona. It pretends to be a modern version of a clasical colonnade with upgraded frieze and columns.

The gem cross-section of the piers makes them appear slender from the side, hides the traces the formwork-joints left on the deck and improves the aesthetics of the pier-deck connection. The deck is an upside-down U-beam so to ease the reuse of its formwork. The roof structure offers the wayfarer sea & city views while ensuring adequate protection from wind and rain.
