VSL has evolved from a specialist post-tensioning company into a multi discipline
bridge partner, capable of providing contractors and engineers with construction
and engineering services for highly complex and demanding projects. More
importantly, the localised organisation of VSL provides clients with innovative
practical designs and construction solutions adapted to suit the local market.
Lateral thought processes encouraged within the design and production teams
provide a suitable environment in which to nurture novel, and often remarkably
simple solutions to demanding problems. The exchange of knowledge within the
VSL global network enables the group’s considerable experience to be fully utilised
and applied in a wide variety of engineering domains.
As a specialist bridge partner, VSL can bring the project team an extensive
experience gained from erecting over 100,000 precast bridge deck elements Shenzhen Western Corridor -
(providing almost 5 million square meters of bridge surface), constructing multiple Hong Kong (2004-2005)
in-situ bridges utilising VSL form travellers and incremental launching methods
and also being involved in the construction of over 150 stay cable bridges.
VSL is committed to offering clients the ‘best for project’ service that has recently
led to the development and implementation of various innovative Partnering and
Alliancing arrangements that have proved to be highly successful and mutually
beneficial to all parties.
