Waagner Biro Bridge Systems has made a valuable contribution to expanding infrastructures, constructing architecturally impressive bridges and has, time and time again, created new examples of the art of modern engineering.
This art is seen in a row of bridges across the Danube in Vienna, the New Rethe Bascule Bridge in Hamburg, several bridge building projects in Indonesia and the Philippines, and in the Puente Continental, the longest suspension bridge in Peru. In the construction of steel bridges, Waagner Biro covers the entire product spectrum.
Products
Panel (Bailey) Bridges
This modular bridge concept is a flexible unit assembly system whose advantage is in its extremely short construction time. So panel bridges are often used as emergency bridges, temporary bridges, or military bridges.
Modular Bridges
These provide a quick and efficient improvement in infrastructure. This type of bridge is characterized by its fixed components which enable easy adaptation to individual requirements. Its markets are in regions which have a corresponding deficit in their infrastructures, like South-East Asia and Africa.
Beam Bridges
The Waagner-Biro Beam Bridge Goliath WBG for single spans up to 40m and the Waagner-Biro Beam Bridge Hercules WBH for single spans up to 21m are modular steel bridge systems, designed and developed for heavy traffic loads (Eurocode) and a high number of fatigue load cycles. The beam bridges are suitable for both temporary and permanent applications.
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 provisional bridges that are used only for a few months or even years.
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 emergency and temporary use.
Engineered Bridges
Cable-stayed, suspension, arch, plate-girder or even architecturally sophisticated bridges. These and other types of special bridges impress not only with their sheer size and span, they are also architecturally interesting constructions that have the potential to visually dominate the landscapes in which they stand.
Service
Preventative maintenance is carried out to prevent the deterioration or failure of facilities through continuous and systematic inspection and detection. A rigorous program of preventative maintenance can extend the service life of a road, bridge, underpass or civil structure. This ensures that the maximum value is realised from the initial capital investment. Additionally, regular maintenance proves more cost effective than occasional major repair. The concept of preventive bridge maintenance is built on the understanding that a program of multiple relatively small repairs and activities will keep the structure in good condition. Thereby the large expense of major rehabilitation or replacement is avoided.
