MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Bogibeel Bridge in India.
The upper tier of the bridge is a roadway, while the lower one is a railroad line. Since it is located in a seismic zone, the bridge is capable of withstanding earthquakes up to 7 on the Richter scale.
Maurer equipped this bridge with 164 spherical bearings. These bearings can withstand loads of up to 2,800 tons. The bridge has a total length of 4.94 km and consists of 41 spans. Of these spans, 39 have lengths of up to 125 m. Maurer installed 4 MSM spherical bearings under each span. These bearings have dimensions of 1200x1200 mm and a height of 200 mm. The design load of each structure is 28 MN.
164 MSM spherical bearings supplied by Maurer have a service life of at least 50 years and do no require maintenance during this period.
