Spectacular walkable glass bridge with non-slip CriSamar ® STEP in Champalimaud Center.
The new bridge is a spectacular 21 meters long structure, made of glass and steel connecting the two buildings in Champalimaud Biomedical Research Center in Lisbon, Portugal. Envelope, balustrade and deck are made entirely of glass.
Designed by architect Charles Correa Associates in collaboration with engineering Schlaich und Partner Bergermann, and the company Bellapart, who undertook the detailed design, fabrication and assembly work.
SEVASA has solved the need for non-slipping security floor with certificated Incus-S glass from the CriSamar ® STEP line.
Incus-S is certified by the UNE ENV 12633, DIN 51130, UL 410 and ASTM C 1028 standards and tests. With a certified surface hardness of scale 5 in MOHS, unique in the market, this walkable highly resistant to scratches glass ensures maximum durability.
Each deck piece is low-iron heat-strengthened glass, measuring 1900 x 2150 x 52 mm thick and is composed of 5 multilaminate layers, being CriSamar® STEP_Incus-S 10 mm the anti-slip top surface glass.
The spectacular bridge is supported by a steel substructure and for the envelope, 12 circular rings 30mm thick support the curved glass, laminated with SentryGlas ®.
The Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown is located at the emblematic historical area of Lisbon (Portugal), where the Tagus river meets the Atlantic Ocean, ancestral departure point of portuguese sailors who set sails to the unknown with pioneering spirit.
