Delivering highway bridges with clear spans up to 85m
Spans up to 85m
Available for hire or sale, the Retro Long Span Bridge (LSB) is a pre-engineered modular steel through-truss bridge system designed to deliver lightweight temporary or permanent road bridges with clear spans of up to 85m.
Versatile and cost effective
Standard roadway widths of 4.5m, 6m, 7.5m and 10.5m are available. Bespoke widths can also be catered for.
The 5m module length and the deck to underside of bridge dimension of just 1m combine with cleverly thought through details to make the Retro Long Span Bridge a versatile and cost effective solution for many different spans and the ideal solution for single, 2 and 3 lane highway bridges. Cantilever footwalks can be fitted to the outer edges of the main structure if required to carry pedestrians in segregated safety.
Easy delivery, quick and simple to erect, safe to use
Bridge components can be shipped in standard ISO 20 ft or 40 ft containers and are delivered to site on conventional road going vehicles for rapid assembly and installation into final position by crane or launching.
Steel decking is provided with anti-skid surfacing as standard and vehicle parapets are provided along the edges of the roadway to ensure the safety of bridge users.
Ideal for temporary or permanent use
The Retro Long Span Bridge system is suitable for temporary or permanent us use by public road going or construction site vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight of up to 60 tonnes.
It is designed using established in-house Retro Bridge design procedures to carry the loadings in many different international standards including: Eurocode I – III LM2, HA and 30, 37.5 or 45 units of HB loading to BD37/01 and HS20 or HS25 loading to AASHTO. Lighter, lower capacity LSB’s are available to provide a cost effective solution for sites with lower loading requirements.
We offer the complete service – design, supply, erection and dismantling
