MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER’s global projects implemented as part of this activity is located in Greece and connects the Tithorea and Domokos regions. The project represents a high-speed railway bridge. The bridge is about 300 m long.
Maurer supplied 3 types of products for this bridge: 16 hydraulic dampers, 12 Sliding Isolation Pendulums, and 2 shear keys.
These Maurer products protect the bridge from three main factors: seismic vibrations, the force or energy generated by the sudden braking of high-speed trains, and finally, thermal displacements. All used products are designed to protect the bridge from these 3 factors. The service life of Maurer products (operational period) is designed for 50 years. All products have been tested and manufactured without the need for maintenance for 50 years.
Maurer completed the work under this project at the end of 2017, and the bridge started operating in 2018.
