Modular bridges use standardised segments that are fabricated, coated and trial-fitted in the shop, then bolted together on site. They suit projects where installation time or site access is limited.
Typical considerations
- Module length chosen to fit containers or road trailers.
- Bolted splices designed for quick, repeatable assembly.
- Clear marking and assembly drawings for the installation crew.
