Mabey panel bridging systems can be delivered to site in component form allowing the construction of major structures in areas with restricted access. The bridging systems are assembled quickly and safely using a small crane. Final positioning of the structure can be carried out using a variety of techniques to suit individual situations including cantilever launch from one side pushing the bridge out on rollers and landing on the far bank or by building a skeletal structure and lifting into position. Our experienced bridge engineers will be pleased to advise on the options for a particular use. Road bridges can be designed to current Highways Agency loading for use throughout the road network for applications ranging from motorways and trunk roads to minor rural lanes. The availability and speed of construction of Mabey Panel Bridges enables us to provide rapid over bridge or diversion routes in emergency situations after a bridge strike incident or structural fault is identified on the road network.
