ABSTRACT
This article describes the development, setup and commissioning of the technical installation used for the Bridge in Ice project in Juuka, Finland. A group of 11 Mechatronics students of Summa Engineering in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, have built a machine to make the mixture for the cellulose-ice composite material and the control system to inflate the pneumatic formwork used for the bridge. Installation and commissioning was done on location in Finland. The result was very satisfying; the technical installation which was important for the success of the project turned out to work as required on all fronts.
