Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSS), Form Travellers, Launching Gantries, and full-service delivery for complex bridge decks.

Why Strukturas

For more than 30 years, Strukturas has helped contractors deliver over 300 bridges worldwide -safely, predictably, and on schedule. From concept engineering to dismantling, we supply bridge building equipment and the people, methods, and QA needed to execute critical-path concrete deck works for railway and highway viaducts, aqueducts, and long-span structures.

What sets us apart

• Full portfolio: MSS (underslung & overhead), Form Travellers (FT), Segmental/Beam Launchers, Launching Gantries (LG).
• End-to-end scope: design, engineering, fabrication, supply, rental, sale, sale-with-buyback, assembly, operation, dismantling planning, labour crew services.
• Certified quality: Eurocode 3 / NS-EN 1993, EN-1090 (Execution Class II), steels Q235 / Q345.
• Global footprint: European headquarters in Norway, with offices across Europe and Asia and agents in key markets.

What We Deliver: Systems That Fit Your Method

Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSS)

• Configurations: Underslung and Overhead.
• Use cases: In-situ bridge deck construction over water, traffic, and rail; constrained access; long approaches.
• Engineering levers: span length, deck width, curvature radius, slope, load capacity, cycle time.
• Features: Hydraulic systems, self-launching sequences, optimized transverse beams and supporting brackets.

Form Travellers (FT)

• Variants: Overhead / underslung form travellers, segmental form travellers.
• Method: Balanced cantilever for long spans, tall piers, and curved alignments.
• Interfaces: Internal/external formwork, anchorage/brackets, predictable cycle control for cast in-situ boxes and U-shape aqueducts.

Launching Gantries & Beam Launchers

• Segmental construction: Span-by-span or balanced methods for precast programs.
• Beam launchers: Efficient placement for precast girder viaducts and approaches.

Where Our Equipment Excels

• Viaduct concrete decks with repetitive spans.
• Cast in-situ bridges where access is limited and logistics are constrained.
• Full-span formwork scenarios that demand high productivity.
• U-shape aqueducts and atypical cross-sections.
• Over-water / over-rail alignments requiring self-launching and controlled possession windows.

End-to-End Services (Reducing Interfaces, Reducing Risk)

1. Design & Engineering – method studies, preliminary sizing, detailed calculations, and constructability reviews.
2. Fabrication & Supply – EN-1090 compliant manufacturing & QA, transport and pre-assembly planning.
3. Commercial Models – rental, sale, sale with buyback to match program horizons & redeployment plans.
4. Assembly & Operation – site setup, commissioning, labour crews, supervision, cycle-time tuning.
5. Dismantling Planning – safe-park strategies, retreat sequences, turnaround for next project.

Engineering & Technical Specifics

• Geometry inputs: span length, deck width, curvature radius, slope.
• Structural kit: internal/external formwork, supporting brackets, transverse beams tailored to box girder geometries.
• Systems: synchronized hydraulic systems, controlled self-launching (underslung/overhead), defined load capacity envelopes.
• Productivity: repeatable cycle time windows supported by crew models and shift patterns.

Standards, Certification & Materials

• Eurocode 3 / NS-EN 1993 design basis.
• EN-1090, Execution Class II fabrication control and traceability.
• Steel grades: Q235 / Q345, selected for strength, weldability, and lifecycle performance.

Sustainability & Efficiency

• Reuse, rental and sharing models to maximize equipment lifespan and minimize CO₂ footprint.
• Efficient material usage via modular designs and redeployment planning.
• Minimal environmental impact from self-launching methods that limit temporary works and ground disturbances.

FAQ

Do you both rent and sell equipment?

Yes. We match rental, sale, or sale-with-buyback to program duration and your redeployment pipeline.

Can you operate the equipment with your crews?

Yes. We provide assembly, operation, and labour crew services, or we can supervise your crews.

What standards do you build to?

Design to Eurocode 3 / NS-EN 1993; fabrication to EN-1090 (Execution Class II) with documented QA; steel Q235/Q345.

Can you support over-water or over-rail projects?

Yes. We engineer self-launching MSS and method statements for constrained possessions and navigation windows.
