The crossing of the Kwanza River alluvial valley along approximately 1500m is a reference in terms of the complexity of the foundation technologies used, as well as the auxiliary works. The aim of this paper is to describe the main construction processes adopted for the execution of 1.50m diameter piles, at depths that reached 75m. The environmental constraints underlying the Kwanza River involve the construction of a temporary steel pier, 225m long, a jetty, and the use of a special cofferdam system for the execution of the pile cap blocks for bridge piers grounded in the river without resorting to embankment.
