Bearing Replacement

Bridge failures can occur when movement of component parts are restricted or become blocked. Environmental conditions, grit or residues from the road, aging and fatigue, are all factors that can cause bearings to cease which can be catastrophic for the bridge deck and the pier.

Preventing Bridge Failure

Bridge bearings are critical to allowing controlled movement. When they seize due to age, fatigue, or debris, it can compromise the safety and stability of the entire structure.

Monitoring Structural Integrity

Displacement sensors are used to monitor bridge movement and bearing condition in real time, providing essential data to plan timely maintenance and prevent costly failures.

Controlled Lifting and Replacement

Hydraulic jacks carefully raise the bridge deck during bearing replacement, with loads continuously monitored to ensure safety, precision, and structural control throughout the process.

Monitoring Bridge Performance and Bearing Condition

Displacement sensors are positioned under a bridge deck to monitor the effect on its structural integrity with different loads. These sensors can also monitor bridge bearings and produce real-time data to help identify the urgency of required maintenance, repair or replacement.

Precision Lifting for Safe Bearing Replacement

Hydraulic jacks are used to lift a bridge vertically in order to replace the bearings. The loads on the jacks are continually monitored, ensuring that the propping force is controlled.
