MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Kattwyk Bridge in Hamburg, Germany. Maurer supplied products for 2 bridges in this project. The project includes two bridges: one old and one new.
Maurer replaced the spherical bearings and expansion joints on the old Kattwyk Bridge. On the new Kattwyk Bridge, 6 custom-made spherical bearings and expansion joints were installed. The new Kattwyk Bridge became the largest lift bridge in Germany. It consists of 3 spans, 2 of which are located on the shore, while the middle one is the lifting part for ship passage.
After the construction of the new bridge, the railroad line was moved to the new Kattwyk, while the roadway remained on the old bridge. This prevents additional transport delays when ships pass through.
On the new Kattwyk Bridge, Maurer installed 6 special bearings. Of them, 4 ensure multidimensional displacement while the other 2 stabilize the longitudinal displacement of the lifting span.
