Millau Viaduct

Not strictly Landy, so moderators please delete if necessary - I thought people might be interested though.

Thursday 24 July 2008, 5.00 pm The Building Centre, Store Street, London WC1E 7BT

To launch The Building Centre’s major exhibition, 'SPANS: viaducts, bridges and walkways', The Engineering Club will present a special talk by Dr Michel Virlogeux, bridge specialist and designer of, among others, the Millau Viaduct, with Foster and Partners. He will discuss the challenge of how the tallest vehicular bridge in the world was conceived, modelled and built.
The talk will be followed by a reception to celebrate the opening of the SPANS exhibition.

The talk is free of charge, but booking is essential. To book, please visit http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk

Thank you chaps. Point taken. Me I quite like to know about the bridges I'm driving over, especially the Millau viaduct, which is awesome. You guys stick to your coffee mornings. I hear the WI are jolly good at Landy stuff too.
