Highway Civil Works

Kanon Consulting is one of the leading bridge design offices in Greece.
The office has dealt with all types of motorway and railway bridge construction (with the exception of cable stayed bridges), including balanced cantilever and incremental launching construction.
Being active in a country with high seismicity, Kanon Consulting has gained significant experience in seismic design of bridges including modern seismic isolation methods, and has designed all type of bridge foundations from footings, to piles, to caissons.

ORGANIZATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRETE S.A.
Completition of Afchin Agkathias – Chamezi - Siteia Section with an approximate length of 3.8km

CONSTRUCTION: ERGO S.A. – ERGODOMI S.A. – KASTOR S.A. J/V

Design: ΚANON CONSULTING 80%, PREZA-PILITSIS & PRTNS 20% (2006)

A series of five railway bridges was currently being constructed on section Lianokladi-Domokos of the new double high-speed railway line. A common characteristic of all of these bridges is the installation of a seismic isolation system due to the high seismicity of the area and the active seismic faults in the vicinity.
