Proven Quality

The compact system with its high inbuilt factors of safety has the benefit of being pre-designed and tested. The time and cost of engineering is avoided. Thousands of Compact bridges are in use worldwide in a wide variety of applications further proving the system's integrity and reliability.

Most Compact bridges are used in infrastructure development, however the speed of delivery and installation achievable also makes the bridges suitable in emergency and relocation applications. The standard components of the Compact system can be assembled in a wide variety of configurations to suit individual needs in the most economic way.

Simplicity

For simplicity, only a small number of different components are used within the system. Options include steel decks, anti-skid surfacing, walkways, ramps and span junction equipment.

Compact components are easy to ship and transport to site. Component weight on single lane bridges does not exceed 500kg and bridges can be assembled by hand using unskilled labour.
