This study is a contribution to assessing Finland's position in bridge construction in relation to that of the rest of Europe. The goal was to ascertain the design and construction costs, methods of contracting and, in some cases, the materials consumption in certain European countries. In order to limit the study, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, England and Portugal were chosen as target countries. The construction costs and materials consumption were studied for flyovers, girder bridges and cable-stayed bridges. Material for the research was based on brochures sent by the target countries, their replies to the questionnaires, newspaper articles and publicatons relating to bridge construction. |
