Method for constructing a high railway turnout continuous beam
By prefabricating single-track box girders at the beam yard and utilizing the cooperation of beam lifting machines and bridge erecting machines, safe and reliable construction of continuous beams for high-speed railway turnouts was achieved. This solved the problem of traditional cast-in-place support methods under complex working conditions, reduced construction costs, and improved construction quality and efficiency.

AI Technical Summary
When constructing continuous beam turnouts using bridge structures near high-speed railway stations, the traditional cast-in-place method with supports is difficult and risky under conditions such as high piers, crossing rivers, soft soil foundations, and existing lines, making it impossible to implement.
The construction method of first simple support and then continuous construction is adopted. The single-line box girder is prefabricated in the beam yard, transported by beam lifting machine and beam transport vehicle, and erected by bridge erecting machine to complete the construction of the turnout continuous beam. The structural transformation is achieved by the installation of permanent support and the construction of post-pouring strip.
It enables low-cost, high-quality, and safe construction under complex working conditions, shortens the construction period, and improves the standardization of construction.
