Engineering activities regarding the startup of a metallic bridge over the Crişul Repede river

This paper will present engineering works carried out in order to startup a metallic bridge over the Crisul Repede river in Oradea, Romania. The challenge behind this operation was that the above mentioned bridge's metallic superstructure was launched on the abutments and the piers, but after that, no interventions were made for one and a half year. Upon restarting the construction works, specific interventions had to be made in order to meet the imposed technical and safety regulations. The paper will present specific stages of the engineering works, both from the constructor's and the surveyor's point of view.
