Sibiu Pitesti Section 3, Romania

Tesseract Engineers were appointed to provide engineering services for the PAC phase (Construction Permit) of the Sibiu Pitesti Highway Section 3. Section 3 is the most complex part of the highway because it will cross the Carpathian Mountains between Cornetu and Tigveni for 37.4 kilometres, of which 12.5 kilometres will include 48 bridges and viaducts, the Poiana Tunnel, a 1.7-kilometre-long twin tunnel, two interchanges at Valeni and Cornetu, 18 kilometres of consolidation works, the construction of a maintenance and control centre, and work to preserve the environment. Tesseract Engineers provided the interpretation of the geotechnical conditions and properties of the future viaducts between Cornetu and Tigveni (kms 44+500 and 81+900).
