    The Barbarabrücke is a pipe bridge for natural gas and has been crossing the Danube between the Lobau (in the 22nd district of Vienna) and the Mannswörther Au, which belongs to Schwechat, since 1957. The gas pipeline runs from Schwechat to Baumgarten an der March and has a throughput capacity of 150,000 m³ per hour.

    Hiking

    Above all, to supply Styria with natural gas, OMV needed a crossing of the Danube for a pipe with a diameter of 42 centimeters. Since, due to the large span, a conventional truss bridge for pipes would have been too heavy, Franz Masanz from Waagner-Biro AG designed a novel suspension bridge system, which was also patented.
