TIMBER LIMITLESS
Anaklia-Ganmukhuri Pedestrian Bridge
The Anaklia-Ganmukhuri wooden footbridge is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in Europe (505 meters). The bridge spans the River Enguri and connects the Georgian resort of Anaklia and the neighboring town of Ganmukhuri. The river then flows into the Black Sea. For quality assurance purposes, all glued laminated timber elements in this project were pre-produced at the plant in Kleinheubach in advance. To meet the special requirements and difficult logistics requirements, the patented solution HESS LIMITLESS was used. This allowed the joining of the individual elements (a total of 141 joints were carried out) in Georgia. The resulting beams have an impressive length of 48 meters. The maximum free spans of the bridge are 84 meters.
