Financial valuation of the «Κorakou» bridge reconstruction

The Georgios Karaiskaki Municipality has great natural beauty and a remarkable cultural legacy. The «Korakou» bridge, found in the specific municipality, is of great historic importance. Its relation with modern Greek history reached its climax after its bombardment in the year 1949 by military troops of Greek revolutionary army. In recent years the demand of its reconstruction is getting more and more intense. The local authorities not only brought up the matter in to the Greek and European public but they also have made a preliminary study of the restoration of the bridge. The aim of this paper is to support this study by doing the whole construction measurements in a full scale. The total cost has also been estimated. This has been done by implementing the «Εrgowin», a tailor cut software for estimation of public constructions. The reconstruction of the «Κorakou» bridge will contribute a lot to enhance our national cultural heritage and at the same time can be a great step forward to the municipality’s development prospects.
