Cargo
Transporting bridge sections
Bridge sections – steel segments, box girders, precast beams – are wide, long and heavy. They are often delivered to sites where traffic keeps flowing and closure windows are tightly planned.
What matters
- Width and length
- Segments are often over-width and over-length at once.
- Closure windows
- Installation takes place in approved closure periods – delivery must fit.
- Site next to traffic
- Access next to carriageways needs coordination with site management and authority.
- Lifting
- Large cranes or skidding via partners, coordinated with installation.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Which pieces, with what dimensions and weights?
- Are there closure windows for installation?
- What is the site access like?
- Who lifts or skids the pieces?
- Where do they come from – factory, pre-assembly yard?
What we need from you
- Parts list
- Installation dates
- Site and access
- Lifting
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
Tell us the installation date – we plan delivery so that installation and skidding can start straight away.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
We check pieces, route and installation window and clarify permits, escorts and lifting.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Transport after permit, delivery matched to the closure window.
Questions and answers: Bridge sections
How are bridge segments brought to the site?
As heavy or out-of-gauge transport after permit, often at night and matched to installation windows.
What is a closure window?
An approved period in which a road or line is closed for installation. Delivery must fit it.
Can delivery be aligned with installation?
Yes. We plan transport and lifting via partners around your installation date so installation can start straight away.
