Project: Repair of the composite beam bridge in Madesalmi
The repair of the composite beam bridge in Madesalmi became necessary when heavier and taller trucks were permitted. We manufactured the steel frame for the composite beam bridge in Madesalmi in 2014.
- Weight: 25 tons
- Length: 33.00 meters
- Width: 4.65 meters
The bridge frame was manufactured as a complete assembly at the factory. The entire structure was surface-treated in our own paint shop before delivery. The surface treatment was carried out in accordance with the site requirements and industry standards.
Delivery and installation:
The finished bridge frame was delivered to the site by special transport. At the site, the structure was lifted into place on top of the renewed bearing pads. The lifting was carried out according to plan using suitable lifting equipment. During installation, the frame was secured in its final position and the correct installation tolerances were ensured.
As a result of the repair project, the Madesalmi bridge can now carry larger and heavier vehicles than before, improving traffic flow and safety. This project demonstrated the durability and efficiency of steel structures in bridge construction and how proactive maintenance and upgrades can extend the service life of infrastructure.
