FIELD VISIT TO THE CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY PROJECT BY
E19 CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENTS

A field visit was made by the E19 Civil Engineering students to the Central Expressway project (near Rambukkana) on 02.12.2023. The students were able to witness numerous and exclusive structural engineering applications including: post-tensioned beam construction; prestresssing of post-tensioned beams; temperature controlled concrete batching; underpass construction; pipe-cooled concreting; etc. The visit was hosted by the MAGA Engineering (Pvt) Ltd and the planning was exceptional. The lunch was also provided by the host. Prof. H.D. Yapa, Dr. A.J. Dammika and Dr. (Ms) C. Chandrasiri joined the visit as the academic staff. Director Roads and Bridges, Eng. G.V.S.K. Kumarasiri provided an outstanding support from MAGA Engineering to organize the visit.
