Thanks to a sturdy design with an integral construction, low maintenance costs and a long operating life can be expected. Despite difficult construction conditions, the bridge could be built very cost-effectively. It sensitively adjusts to the urban environment but nevertheless displays high recognition value thanks to its modern design language. The “Bleichinselbrücke” ideally meets all the demands of sustainable construction design. This prize confirms our approach that even smaller building projects can make an important contribution to building culture of cities”, states Andreas Kreil, Project Manager at sbp schlaich bergermann partner. To realize such a bridge construction that meets the high expectations of the jury with regard to design and implementation was only possible thanks to the good collaboration between all parties involved. “We are really pleased to receive this award. The “Bleichinselbrücke” is an excellent example of careful creation and construction as well as the economical implementation of a good design. “An elegant bridge construction with an expressive design language and high recognition value”, was the jury’s statement. The supporter and patron of the Bridge Design Prize was the Federal Ministry for Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). The international software developer ALLPLAN supported this award for the third time in a row and for the first time as the main sponsor. Since 2006, the prize has been awarded every two years for outstanding civil engineering achievements. Andreas Kreil from sbp received the coveted prize, awarded by the Federal Chamber of Engineers and the Association of Consulting Engineers (VBI) in front of more than 1200 guests including engineering experts, politicians and business people.
