Factory-made bridges
By exploiting the advantages of industrial construction, we have developed design solutions that have allowed wooden bridges to surpass those made of steel and concrete in a number of areas. Our bridges have a high level of prefabrication and are built almost to completion in the efficient, dry environment of our factory. As a result, we are able to make consistent use of quality-assured building components that are unaffected by external conditions.
Fast assembly times
The high level of prefabrication also makes on-site assembly faster, resulting in minimal disruption to traffic on local roads and railways. As experienced bridge specialists, we have also developed efficient assembly methods over many years.
Carefully planned logistical solutions
Right from the outset, our factory plans the assembly process to ensure a high degree of efficiency, with all components loaded on to the transport vehicle in order of assembly. The completed bridge components are usually lifted directly from the lorry and assembled on site by a relatively small team of assembly workers.
Financial advantages
Martinsons bridges are largely made of glulam components, the low weight of which is advantageous in many respects. Transport costs can be kept to a minimum and, thanks to the low weight of the building components, the costs associated with foundation-laying and crane work are also minimized. A timber bridge designed also make it easy to replace a worn-out bridge with a new bridge on exsitings foundation.
A sound choice for the long term
Through focused research and development, we have developed a series of technical design solutions and protective features that make our wooden bridges highly resistant to adverse weather conditions. And while our bridges are impervious to the corrosive effects of road salt, they retain their natural characteristics over time. We regularly inspect the bridges we have delivered, not only to ensure our customers feel a high degree of confidence in our products but also to gather valuable data for the continuation of our development work.
