Acrow Global Limited (trading as Mabey Bridge)
'Temporary Bridge - long-term possibilities'
Construction Site Access Solutions, Ireland
In 2001, Sisk found itself involved in a project where its own temporary bridging solution was not suitable. The company decided to look at the Bailey Bridge system as an alternative. After investigating various options, Sisk decided on the Mabey Universal Bridge System, which is ideal for heavy construction traffic and frequent redeployment.
One of the big advantages of the Mabey Universal modular bridging solution is that customers who buy it can use it time and time again if needed. John Sisk & Son Ltd of Ireland has had one of these bridges for twelve years and it has become an important and versatile tool for the company.
Here the modular bridge is the ideal solution for site construction traffic, with its heavy load capability.
The Mabey Universal Bridge is perfect for longer span permanent and temporary installations.

“The main advantage of the bridge is the ease of erection without the need for cumbersome abutment structures. When we first erected it, it was launched in true ‘army style’ using roller supports and kentledge, but lately we simply lift it into position using a mobile crane." “When not in use the bridge is easily stored. We will shortly be starting a contract in the Cork area where the plan is to use it for heavy traffic at a length of 36m. To cope with the traffic loading, additional strengthening will be required, the magnitude of which we have agreed and Mabey Bridge have already provided design components for.”Chief Engineer Otto Thorup
