MAURER supplies expansion joints, bearings, and dampers for bridge and viaduct projects. One of MAURER's global projects in this area is the Raiffeisen bridge project.
The issue was the replacement of the bearings of the Raiffeisen bridge built in 1978. This bridge handles 46,000 vehicles daily. The bridge is 485 m long and has three spans.
Maurer replaced the POT bearings used in this project with spherical ones. Some of the installed bearings have a diameter of 2.4 m and weigh 13 tons. These bearings can withstand loads of up to 120 MN.
Eight bearings supplied by Maurer allow for displacement in all directions. These bearings are made of patented MSM material (a special material for ensuring sliding).
