Start of T8 Structure Works in Thessaloniki Flyover

The Thessaloniki Flyover project continues to move forward with the commencement of construction works on the T8 structure, one of the most technically demanding sections of this major infrastructure development in Greece.

The Flyover is a landmark project designed to upgrade and modernize the eastern ring road of Thessaloniki, significantly improving traffic flow, safety, and overall urban mobility. By introducing a high-capacity elevated corridor and enhancing existing infrastructure, the project will play a key role in addressing long-standing congestion challenges in the city.

Within this context, the T8 structure represents a critical component due to its complexity and its importance in the overall traffic distribution. This section has been designed as a multi-level, cut-and-cover solution, requiring advanced engineering approaches to meet both structural and operational requirements.

KSS (Kern System Solution) has been awarded the formwork for the cut-and-cover segments of this structure. The project presents significant design challenges due to its geometric complexity, including longitudinal and transverse slopes, as well as continuous height variations at each concreting stage. These factors demand a high level of precision and adaptability throughout the execution phase.

To successfully address these challenges, KSS has developed a customized carriage system specifically engineered to ensure the accurate positioning of the formwork at every stage of construction. This innovative solution enables efficient adaptation to the varying geometry of the structure, ensuring both quality and safety during execution.

The start of works on T8 marks an important milestone for the project and highlights the contribution of innovative engineering solutions in delivering complex infrastructure. As construction progresses, the Thessaloniki Flyover continues to represent a major step toward smarter, safer, and more efficient transportation networks in Europe.
