The leeward viaducts, west of the tunnels, were cast in place using overhead steel trusses with movable form travelers. The 41-ft-wide curved girder structures are composed of 24 ft segments. A value engineering analysis led to a change in the windward viaducts from cast in place to precast. Self-launching trusses delivered the precast segments over completed spans for placement in balanced cantilever alignment, eliminating the need for crane access to the valley floor. 1, record 3, English, - self%2Dlaunching%20truss

Par extension, on désigne également sous le nom de cintres des poutres métalliques supportant le coffrage dune travée de pont et prenant appui sur le sol ou sur une partie de l’ouvrage déjà réalisé (pile ou travée). Quand la poutre se déplace d’une travée à la suivante par ses propres moyens, il est appelé «cintre autolanceur». 3, record 3, French, - cintre%20autolanceur

D'autres méthodes de construction ont été développées en Allemagne : la construction travée par travée sur cintre autolanceur et la mise en place par poussage. La première méthode fait appel à un cintre outil métallique extrêmement lourd(de 200 à 600 t selon la portée de l'ouvrage et la largeur du tablier), qui peut être lancé vers l'avant en ne s’appuyant que sur la partie déjà réalisée de l'ouvrage et sur ses appuis définitifs; une fois en place, le cintre est capable de supporter le poids de la travée à construire(pont de Bremeke et, en France, viaducs de l'autoroute Roquebrune-Menton en 1970; viaducs d’accès au pont de Martigues sur la passe de Caronte en 1974). Le coût des cintres autolanceurs a conduit au développement de la technique du poussage par Fritz Leonhardt(pont sur le río Caroni au Venezuela en 1964) : l'ouvrage est bétonné au sol en arrière d’une des culées, par tronçons successifs, et il est poussé vers l'avant dans son ensemble à l'aide de vérins, par étapes successives correspondant aux phases de bétonnage, après la construction d’un tronçon ou l'achèvement d’une travée. 4, record 3, French, - cintre%20autolanceur

The copper Sovent single-stack plumbing system is an engineered drainage system developed to improve and simplify soil, waste and vent plumbing in multi-storey buildings. It was invented, in 1959, by Fritz Sommer, head of the Department for Sanitary installation at the vocational training school in Bern, Switzerland. Since 1961, when the first Sovent system was installed, hundreds of multi-storey buildings constructed in Europe, have utilized Sovent. 1, record 7, English, - Sovent%20system

Le système de plomberie Sovent en cuivre à colonne de chute unique est un système d’évacuation mis au point pour améliorer et simplifier les installations de plomberie existantes servant à l'évacuation des eaux vannes et ménagères ainsi qu'à la ventilation dans les bâtiments à étages multiples. Il fut inventé en 1959 par Fritz Sommer, chef du département des installations sanitaires de l'école d’enseignement professionnel de Berne, en Suisse. Depuis la première installation d’un système Sovent en 1961, des centaines de bâtiments à étages multiples construits en Europe ont été pourvus de ce système. 1, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20Sovent
