Modular Steel Bridges
Meteorological disasters rise over the years by the impact of global warming and flood/storm disasters in Turkey and other risky geography are seen frequently. The mentioned disasters cause major damage on bridges, which are critical for transportation infrastructure. On the other hand, bridges are damaged not only by meteorological events but also by earthquakes.
Thanks to our Modular Steel Bridges solution developed specifically for the bridge supply needs that may be encountered in all emergency situations, we ensure the fastest reuse of the transportation infrastructure.
Fuji Engineering, as an EPC contractor, contributes to emergencies with its turnkey solution, including the supply of modular bridges, infrastructure foundation design and implementation.
Modular bridges made of hot-dip galvanized steel with a long life guarantee do not require maintenance and can be designed as light pedestrian bridges or can be produced with high capacity.
Our solutions have been developed to meet permanent, temporary and emergency transportation needs. Thanks to its modular feature, our solutions can be assembled very quickly and be easily disassembled to allow reuse.
Assembled in days or weeks, our durable solutions consist of high-strength, prefabricated components that provide a life cycle of up to 100 years.
Advanced Modular Steel Technology
Prefabricated, modular steel bridging is a proven, time-tested solution that meets diverse permanent, temporary and emergency needs. From ease of customization to speed of installation, prefabricated modular steel bridges deliver many advantages over comparable conventional bridges.
Usage Areas of Modular Steel Bridges
Because of its unique attributes, our bridging system has been adopted by the U.S. Army, Canadian Army, Australian Defence Force and United Nations Peacekeeping operations as a standard bridge for logistical support.
Virtually maintenance free, our steel bridges are built to last 100 years.
Longevity, increased capacity and significant cost savings are the hallmarks of our bridging solutions. Our bridges offer superior performance with a proprietary blend of high-strength U.S. steel and a galvanizing process that eliminates corrosion. With modular components offering ease of assembly and rapid mobilization, our bridges connects you to permanent, cost-effective infrastructure.

Our bridges can transport both freight and passenger trains. They are designed to support American and European railway loadings, including the American Cooper E80 load, which is the heaviest train loading in the United States for main railway lines.
Our heavy haul bridges are designed to support a steady flow of heavy off-road trucks, machinery and equipment typically used on construction and excavation sites and by the military. Easy to erect, take down and transport for use in different locations, these bridges are capable of handling trucks with loads exceeding 550 tons (500 metric tonnes) each in gross weight.
Our modular bridges are well suited to meet the specialized needs of the energy, mining, oil and gas industries, providing safe and efficient access to work sites
Flexibility defines our bridge offering for cars, trucks and other passenger and commercial vehicles. Our modular bridges can be easily lengthened, widened and strengthened to address a full range of vehicular needs as well as different design load standards. Sidewalks and advanced safety features, such as a steel crash barrier system, can also be added.
Our bridges are valued for their ability to support large armored tanks and heavy trucks and also serve as a portable, reusable system designed for fast assembly and disassembly.
Our bridges can be expanded to accommodate up to four lanes of traffic, with spans that can exceed 400 feet
Our bridges used as detours around road construction sites address two major issues. By providing a temporary roadway that is predictable and unchanging, traffic disruptions are reduced while the safety of motorists and construction workers is enhanced. Detour bridges have also been shown to reduce construction costs and help increase both productivity and profitability.
As a temporary or permanent solution, our pedestrian bridge is available in galvanized steel, or weathering steel, which creates a gentle patina over time for a more natural look. These bridges can be fitted with a timber, steel or reinforced concrete deck.
We can design and engineer beam bridges, pipe bridges, utility bridges and truss supports for permanent, temporary and emergency use.
Ease and speed of installation
Our versatile modular steel bridges can be assembled and installed in days or weeks. Utilizing flexible installation methods to suit site conditions, our modular technology connects you to durable, cost-effective infrastructure.
One of the distinct advantages of our modular steel bridging is the ease and speed at which it can be assembled and installed. With all bridge components prefabricated and precision-engineered, installation requires no field welding and minimal skilled labor or construction equipment. This helps minimize costs and ensure the project is delivered on schedule.
The implementation of thousands of projects has been supported all over the world and developed three principal installation methods to accommodate a wide range of applications and site conditions:
The cantilever launch method allows for our bridge to be assembled by hand and rolled into place without the use of a crane. The lightness of our new generation made of hot dip galvanized steel bridges ensures a practical installation.
Our bridge can also be launched with the assistance of a crane if available. This method is fast and easy, requiring less launching nose equipment and counterweight than a cantilevered launch.
At the Lift In method; with the right size crane, the bridge can be lifted into place. The fastest of the three options, this method of installation is often required in demanding situations, where speed is critical.
