Trias Bridge

Organic Shapes for a Bridge

Munich's landmark

The iconic BMW Welt is an integral part of Munich’s cityscape. It has served as BMW AG’s delivery center and world of experience since 2007 and attracts around 3 million visitors every year. Decades later, the futuristic architecture of the building still looks modern and forward-looking.

A bridge to history

A particular eye-catcher of the building is the Trias Bridge, which spans a six-lane road and connects BMW Welt with the historic BMW four-cylinder tower. The bridge consists of numerous stainless steel elements that are connected to the bridge’s substructure. Six elements of the bridge are three-dimensionally shaped and were produced by us.

The production

First, an aluminum substructure was produced according to CAD data, which also served as a production jig. Using the Kraftformer, we were able to adapt the stainless steel sheets to the contour of the jig. Threaded bolts were then welded onto the back of the sheets to ensure a stable connection to the substructure.

Matt appearance

In order to meet the surface requirements of the architects and designers, the stainless steel elements were first perfectly aligned. The matt appearance was achieved by blasting the sheets. This process created an even and robust surface.
