    Freyssinet provides design, supply, installation and maintenance services for bridge bearings. They offer a full range of mechanical and elastomeric bearings as well as jacking and temporary works. Freyssinet can act as the principal contractor or subcontractor on bearing replacement projects.

    Freyssinet can provide bearings for new bridges as well as replacement bearings for existing bridges. They offer full design, supply and installation services and can undertake any associated jacking and temporary works. They also provide bearing inspections and surveys.

    Bridge bearings may need to be replaced due to wear, corrosion, misunderstanding of structural movement, incorrect installation, deterioration of support materials, changes in use of the bridge, design errors or as part of planned maintenance works.

    Reasons to replace bridge bearings

    • Wear / end of design life


    • Corrosion of sliding surfaces
    • Mis-understanding of structural articulation/restraint
    • Incorrect installation
    • Undermined by maintenance works/ support material deterioration
    • Change of use, e.g. footbridge to tram
    • Specification / original design errors, e.g. uplift.
    • Planned maintenance works

    Bridge Impact
    Considerations when filling out bearing
    schedules EN1337 / BS5400
    • Loads may differ between
    permanent/temporary bearings
    • Will HB type vehicles be allowed
    over the structure during bearing
    replacement?
    • Often find that loads are
    incorrect or contact stress is
    exceeded.
    • Will the proposed bearings
    actually fit in the available
    space….or when the structure is
    jacked up?
    • Articulation
    • Technical Approval(AIP)
