Mannswörth pipe bridge
The Mannswörth pipe bridge is a pipe bridge for various products and crosses the Danube between Mannswörth and the Lobau oil port in Vienna's 22nd district . The lines are led in a truss bridge over the New Danube directly to the OMV central tank farm in Lobau.
history
The bridge was built from 1959 to 1961 by the Waagner Biro company . This is a suspension bridge that was built according to the same system as the Barbara Bridge a little further south-east . However, the Mannswörth pipe bridge leads twenty different lines across the Danube, including one natural gas line and nineteen lines for various liquid petroleum products and also crude oil. This makes the bridge - although at 490 meters, sixteen meters shorter than the Barbara Bridge, at 378 tons, it is considerably heavier than this (240 tons). The span of the bridge is 260 meters. In 1981, a culvert under the Danube was added to the bridge , which contains ten additional lines.
After the construction of the Danube Island, the bridge had to be supplemented by another bridge over the New Danube. This is an ordinary truss bridge , as is common for such pipelines. Since the pipelines already begin in the Schwechat refinery , there is another pipe bridge over the Schwechat .
