MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is a bridge project in Dubai.
One of MAURER's areas of activity is the supply of expansion joints and bearings for bridges and viaducts. A distinctive feature of this project was the specific requirements for the Dubai bridge bearings. First of all, the bearings had to withstand temperatures of up to 60 degrees and pressures of up to 40 MPa.
This canal is 3 km long and up to 120 m wide. It has 4 different bridges, each with a separate contractor. The only common requirement was the specifications. For the bearings required to withstand high temperatures and pressures, MAURER specially developed the MSM Plus product. This product was tested at the University of Stuttgart, and MAURER was the only company that met all the customer's requirements. Despite different contractors, the bearing technology used for all these 4 bridges was based on MAURER’s MSM Plus product.
For this project, MAURER supplied a total of 143 bearings. The bearings can withstand forces of up to 30 MN. The fourth bridge with MAURER as the contractor had 4 lanes in each direction.
