Temporary Bridging and Access Solutions

Minimal disruption and safety are key for any highway bridging project. Our team of regional temporary works designers and engineers can work alongside you to supply bridging systems to maintain traffic flow while permanent bridges are constructed, repaired, or replaced. From temporary pedestrian bridges to detours ensuring safe access for the public, our designs can be rapidly deployed and dismantled.

Structural Support Systems

We know each project is different, that’s why our expert engineers can support a host of bridging projects and applications; from designing and installing temporary propping, shoring, and jacking systems to stabilise existing bridges during maintenance or strengthening works, providing falsework and formwork solutions for constructing new bridge decks or supporting spans during concrete curing to using monitoring systems to ensure stability under live traffic or construction loads.

Engineering Expertise and Project Support

To help minimise the challenges when managing multi-phase, multi-partner projects, we can offer a complete end to end service. So, we can work with you, where you need us or throughout the project, from site-specific temporary works design, ensuring compliance with relevant highway and safety standards to providing on-site installation teams and supervision for safe deployment of equipment.

Whether delivering structural support, temporary access, or environmental protection

From new bridge builds and widening projects to deck, bearing, or pier replacements, our systems are designed to ensure safety, stability, and minimal disruption to traffic and the surrounding environment. Whether delivering structural support, temporary access, or environmental protection, we help contractors maintain operational continuity and meet tight programme demands in even the most challenging conditions — over water, within live carriageways, or in complex urban settings.

With our in-house engineering design team, we deliver bespoke solutions

Our expertise combines heavy-duty shoring, propping, bridging, structural monitoring, and access systems into integrated, fully engineered packages. Using proven systems such as Mass 50, Super Shaft Brace, Compact 200, and our modular bridging and falsework solutions, we provide robust and adaptable support throughout each project phase. Backed by our in-house engineering design team, we deliver bespoke solutions tailored to each bridge’s geometry, load requirements, and operational constraints. With a focus on safety, speed, and sustainability, Mabey Hire ensures efficient project delivery — reducing risk, minimising disruption, and supporting the long-term resilience of the UK’s highway infrastructure.
