MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the railroad line and bridges connecting Toluca and Mexico City in Mexico.
Maurer’s main task in this project was to ensure the stability and functionality of the structure. Additionally, it was required to ensure the safety of the structure under various loads.
For the Toluca-Mexico City project, the following elements were supplied:

For the Toluca-Mexico City project, the following elements were supplied:
- Guided Crossties expansion joint — ensures displacement in all directions
- Spherical bearings — withstand structural loads of up to 2,900 tons
- Hydraulic dampers — help the structure maintain stability during sudden stops of traffic and control the longitudinal displacement of the bridge
- Elastomeric bearings — help maintain the stability of the bridge and its centering under any type of load
