Modular Steel Bridge Description: 

The GWD-Type bridge originated in Germany and was introduced into China for mass production through the analysis of its structure by Great Wall engineers.
The introduction of GWD-Type bridge stems from the technical barriers and deficiencies of Bailey Bridge. As is known to all, Bailey Bridge is a common prefabricated steel bridge structure, which is the upper and lower bearing bridge beam with the single pin connecting truss unit as the main beam of the bridge span structure, which has the advantages of simple structure, strong adaptability and good interchangeability. But even if the load is not large, it can only reach 60 meters per single span.

Modular Steel Bridge Specifications:

Therefore, Evercross Bridge launched the GWD-Type bridge. Although the truss adopts larger steel, the structure is simpler, which not only has the advantage of strong adaptability of prefabricated Bailey steel bridge, but also makes up for the limit of span, improves the length of single span and saves the cost of bridge pier.

Modular Steel Bridge Introduction
GW D Modular bridge is a standard bridge equipment, adopted extensively and the most popular in the world

 

1. Rapid Construction and Installation

• Modular Design: Components are pre-fabricated in controlled factory environments, minimizing on-site construction time. Modules can be assembled quickly, even in challenging terrains or remote locations.

2. High Strength and Durability

• Robust Material: Steel is inherently strong, resistant to heavy loads, and capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions (e.g., earthquakes, floods, corrosion when properly treated).

3. Flexibility and Adaptability

• Customizable Modules: Easily modified or expanded by adding/removing sections, allowing the bridge to adapt to changing traffic needs or route adjustments.

Modular Steel Bridge Features

1. Resistance to Hazards

• Seismic Resilience:
• Steel’s flexibility allows it to absorb earthquake energy, reducing damage compared to rigid materials like concrete.
• Weather Resistance:
• Withstands extreme temperatures, high winds, floods, and fire (steel is non-combustible), making it suitable for harsh environments.

2. Military and Emergency Applications

• Rapid Deployment:
• Used by militaries worldwide for temporary crossings in combat zones or disaster areas, where speed and portability are critical.
• Load Capacity for Heavy Vehicles:
• Designed to support military equipment (e.g., tanks, armored vehicles) with minimal setup time.

Modular Steel Bridge Application
Beam bridge, arch bridge, rigid frame bridge, cable-stayed bridge, suspension bridge. passenger foot-bridge.

Rural and Remote Areas: Modular steel bridges are ideal for providing access to rural and remote areas where constructing traditional bridges may be challenging or costly. These bridges can be easily transported to remote locations and assembled with minimal equipment and labor. They can connect isolated communities, facilitate the transport of goods and services, and improve connectivity in underserved areas.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridges: Modular steel bridges are commonly used for pedestrian and bicycle crossings. They can be designed with appropriate width, ramps, and handrails to ensure safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists. These bridges enhance connectivity in urban areas, parks, recreational trails, and educational campuses.
Mixture form to erect all kinds of Modular Steel Bridge
Temporary Bridges, Emergency Bridges and Fixed Bridges.
Using the bridge equipment, the suspension bridges of varied span can be erected.
The bridge has the advantages of few components, light weight and low cost.
Modular steel bridge is similar to the panel bailey bridge from their appearance. The difference is its increased truss panel height and truss panel section is larger to afford more loading. Pre-arch method is used to additionally cut down mid-span and vertical deflection to a larger degree.
The components are connected by connecting plates and fixed with high-strength bolts. Modualr steel bridges has all the advantages of Bailey bridge, and with a larger span and stronger load-bearing capacity.
