CHRYSO expertise

  • Speed-up concrete placement
  • Stripping of multiple concrete mix designs from 0 slump to SCC

Project technical challenges

During construction staging, to maintain traffic flow, most of the fly-over ramps are built over the existing partial cloverleaf interchange. The old junction is then demolished with little disruption once the new lanes are operational.
