Modular Bridges
Panel Bridging
What is a Modular Panel Bridge?
Mabey’s Modular Panel Bridge systems have been
used as fast bridging solutions for nearly 100
years. Mabey’s prefabricated bridge systems are
comprised of interchangeable rectangular panels
that pin together to form trusses which support
floor beams (transoms) of various lengths.
• Steel deck units span between the transoms.
• T
ransom length increases to carry multiple lanes
of traffic.
• A

carry heavier loads.

Assembly
The parts for Mabey Modular Bridges are delivered
to the site on standard flatbed trucks. Assembly and
installation of most bridges can be achieved using
the contractor’s own crew and readily available
equipment such as an excavator or a crane. The four
methods of installation are as follows:
• C
rane-assisted launch (requires crane access
to the far bank);
• F
ull cantilever launch (Mabey will supply a
launch nose);
• A
ssemble in place (for example, over an
existing structure); and
• Assemble to the side and lift into place.
Mabey engineers will work with the contractor to
determine the best installation method and will
provide an outline procedure for that method.
Capabilities
• Safely carries loads of HS25 and greater.
• Spans up to 265’.
• A
vailable in road widths up to 42’ with standard
equipment.
• M
abey bridges carrying Interstate traffic are now
widely approved by DOTs around the country.
