We provide market leading temporary and permanent steel bridge solutions for clients worldwide
Waagner-Biro Bridge Systems is a global leader in modular prefabricated steel bridge systems. With over 170 years of engineering excellence, Waagner-Biro delivers scalable, durable, and fast-to-deploy modular bridges for both temporary and permanent applications.
In addition to modular solutions, Waagner-Biro also engineers and supplies custom steel bridges, including architectural and landmark bridge structures, tailored to unique design and infrastructure requirements.
From design and engineering to fabrication, delivery, and installation, Waagner-Biro’s full-service solutions include panel bridges (Bailey type), truss bridges, beam bridges, and other engineered or modular bridge systems.
MODULAR AND ENGINEERED BRIDGE SOLUTIONS
Panel (Bailey) Bridges
This modular bridge concept is a flexible unit assembly system whose advantage is its extremely short installation time.
Panel bridges are often used as emergency bridges, temporary bridges, construction site bridges, auxiliary bridges, pedestrian bridges or military bridges.
Modular Bridges
These provide a quick and efficient improvement in infrastructure. Modular bridges designed by Waagner-Biro combine the benefits of modern truss bridge construction with the highest level of flexibility with regard to bridge width, span and traffic load.
Fast to build, they are intended for permanent or semi-permanent use. This bridge type is particularly suited for countries with less extensive infrastructures and in remote areas where robust bridges are needed.
Waagner-Biro is also one of the most respected suppliers of launchable long-span modular steel bridges with single spans of up to 121.5 metres.

Hercules Beam Bridges WBH
The Waagner-Biro Hercules Beam Bridge is a modular steel bridge system designed for single spans up to 21m and developed for heavy traffic and high fatigue loads (Eurocode).
The Hercules beam bridge is suitable for both temporary and semi-permanent bridge applications. Ideal for temporary bridges, construction sites, diversion routes, high-density traffic and emergency operations.
Waagner-Biro beam bridges are a no-compromise solution when strength, speed and adaptability are critical.
Rental Bridges
Waagner-Biro offers a wide range of temporary, provisional and modular bridging for rental, hire and sale across Europe and worldwide.
There are three main types of bridges available for temporary and quick bridging: beam bridges, panel bridges and truss-type modular bridges.
Our renting or hire options are especially advantageous for temporary bridges that are used only for a few months or even years.
Waagner-Biro Bridge Systems’ modular prefabricated steel bridges and temporary bridges are ideal for construction site bridges, auxiliary bridges, temporary detours and diversions, emergency infrastructure and bridge rehabilitation sites.
Modular Bridges for a Changing Climate
Climate change is affecting transport infrastructure at local, regional, and national scale all over the world. Many countries are affected by harsh weather conditions such as sea level rise, changes in precipitation, extreme weather, and heat.
Waagner-Biro offers cost-effective modular bridge solutions to restoring damaged and lost infrastructure within days.
The Waagner-Biro Panel Bridge (Bailey type) is especially suited for temporary use and emergency relief operations.
Engineered Steel Bridges
Waagner-Biro Bridge Systems brings many decades of expertise to the design and delivery of complex steel bridge solutions worldwide — including arch bridges, movable bridges, suspension and cable-stayed structures, plate-girder bridges, beam bridges and architecturally refined landmark bridges. Our global portfolio reflects a deep commitment to engineering precision, innovation, and lasting infrastructure.
Engineered steel bridges combine structural performance with architectural elegance—creating bold and visual statements that harmonize with their environment while delivering exceptional durability and design flexibility.
Service
Proactive Bridge Maintenance for Long-Term Structural Performance: Preventive maintenance is essential to preserving the safety, performance, and longevity of bridges, roads, underpasses, and other civil structures. Through systematic inspection, early detection of wear, and timely intervention, we help prevent structural deterioration and reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
A well-planned preventive maintenance program not only extends the service life of infrastructure but also ensures maximum return on the original capital investment. Compared to infrequent major repairs, regular maintenance is significantly more cost-effective and helps avoid disruptive, large-scale rehabilitation or replacement efforts.
Our approach is built on the principle that multiple small-scale interventions, carried out consistently, are the most efficient way to keep a structure in optimal condition—enhancing performance, improving safety, and minimizing lifecycle costs.
