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 Hungary.
This project involves the famous Chain Bridge over the Danube in Budapest. The bearings and expansion joints of the bridge were replaced to meet modern requirements. One of the main challenges of the project was the bridge bearings since they had to allow for displacement in all directions and counteract the lifting forces of the bridge. Therefore, MAURER developed special spherical bearings made of MSM material. For this project, a total of 32 spherical bearings were supplied.
Secondly, MAURER also replaced the expansion joints. The new expansion joint allows for a displacement of up to 1,400 mm.
The bridge is 15 m wide and 380 m long.
