Rapid-assembly bridging solutions with Layher Allround Systems

Layher's Allround Bridging System provided quick and safe pedestrian access during station refurbishment, with two 18-meter bridges, stairways, and a 100-meter wheelchair ramp all built in only 10 days.

The Allround bridging system ideally complements Layher Allround equipment. The load-bearing capacity of the proven Allround system can be enhanced with just a few additional components, allowing for the construction of wide-span footbridges or heavy-load support structures.

The Allround bridging system is available in the standard Layher dimensions of 2.07 m and 2.57 m, with its unique wedge-head connection making it fully compatible with Layher Allround equipment. Simple bolt connections allow the components of the bridging system to be easily joined, resulting in quick and straightforward assembly. When used as a support beam for a scaffolding structure, podium, or roof structure, the Allround bridging system is connected to the structure above it by using Allround standards integrated into the top. Using the wedge heads welded onto the sides, even suspended scaffolding structures can be connected, or several bridging units can be connected next to one another to increase the load-bearing capacity further.

When a footbridge is built, the Allround bridging system is connected to Allround standards using the wedge heads provided on the sides of the posts. Depending on the application, either Event decks or steel decks can be used. The bridge can also be clad using Layher Protect cassettes and roofed. The bridge is mounted on Layher heavy-duty supports with specially designed support elements. These support elements permit pre-assembly on the ground and subsequent insertion by crane, a major advantage when spanning bridges across roads.
