Footbridge in Chaves, a construction project by ACF

The New Work of Art in Chaves

ACF builds Footbridge over the river Tâmega 



Finished and ready to be inaugurated – an event which is coming soon – is the Footbridge in Chaves, a construction project by ACF.

The contract, whose general contractor was ACF, includes the construction of a footbridge over the river Tâmega, in Chaves, included in the Polis Program, connecting the Tabolado Garden and the Public Garden.

This Work of Art is of delicate dimensions with great transparency and a modern design, decisively marking the current period. The main element, which is the cable support tower situated on the left bank, is on a green area and easily merges into the landscape.
The local conditions dictated the insertion of the work in the existing landscape. The work is made up of five main units: a ramp and northern support in reinforced concrete; a cable-stayed bridge, with a metal bridge floor spanning 60 000m; a square and southern ramp on the left bank; a metal cable support tower; four cables made up of high resistance steel wire.



The construction of the Footbridge in Chaves was the responsibility of the Company Arlindo Correia & Filhos, S.A., which shaped the project designed by Triede S.A. (Mário Veloso, Engineer).

Focused on a consolidated growth strategy, ACF, S.A. assumes the Value as a main commitment and its activity is structured around three main axes: construction quality, meeting of deadlines and rigour in the after sales service.

The Board of Directors of ACF, S.A. , made up of the founders of the company and their successors, believes that its human resources are the most important asset in the organization and, as a consequence, the company has planned an ambitious model for training new skills oriented towards the continuous improvement and satisfaction of private and public clients.

The trust our clients place in us daily is one of the most interesting challenges because it motivates the systematic assessment of their expectations and the satisfaction of their needs, preserving the natural resources and intervening ethically and with social responsibility - the main guideline of ACF’s mission.

The motivation of all, today and always, comes from the resolve to do even better. We strive to be a quality reference and an environmental and social example.
The work stems from the dream and the vision of the future is based on ‘ART OF CONSTRUCTION’.
