Reuse bracing members in temporary cofferdam for permanent beams in super-structure?
Reuse bracing members in temporary cofferdam for permanent beams in super-structure?
(OP)
So the temporary cofferdam is being constructed in a large Estuary and within it a retaining built for the perimeter of reclaimed land. the cofferdam is to hold back 6m of water to river bed level. In bracing the cofferdam internally I was wondering whether it is possible to reuse these members in the beams of the actual super-structure being built on the reclaimed land and whether similar methods have been carried out before or is it not good practice? The cofferdam will be rectangular and approximately 200m in length so a lot of bracing is required and with economics it would be good to reuse some of this temporary works.
