High Strength Bailey Type Platform For Portable Bridge

Introduction of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

The Bailey platform is an important component of the overall Bailey bridge design. Here's a closer look at what it entails:

The Bailey Platform:

The Bailey platform refers to the horizontal deck or surface of the Bailey bridge that vehicles and pedestrians traverse.

It is constructed using the individual "chesses" - the wooden or steel planks that are laid across the transom beams of the pier structure.

The chesses are positioned perpendicular to the transom beams, creating a solid, continuous deck.

This platform can support the weight of heavy military vehicles, tanks, artillery, and other loads.

When the land and water transportation on both sides of the bridge can not meet the construction and transportation requirements in the mountain area, the construction bridge should be built. The construction bridge generally has the characteristics of simple structure and low cost, but it should be safe and firm to meet the requirements of engineering construction and transportation.

During the construction process, the appropriate height and position of the support are determined according to the actual situation, and corresponding measures are taken to support and fix.

The construction technology principle of the bailey platform is to assemble the frame which is composed of connectors and steel pipes , and fix it in a suitable position to form a stable support system.

Applications of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

Military Crossings:

Rapid deployment of temporary bridges to support the movement of troops, vehicles, and military equipment across rivers, gullies, or other obstacles.

Crucial for enabling the mobility of armored vehicles, artillery, and supply convoys during military operations.

Can be used to quickly establish temporary river crossings or bypasses around damaged or destroyed permanent bridges.

Disaster Response:

Rapid establishment of temporary bridges to restore transportation links after natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, or landslides.

Allows for the quick deployment of emergency supplies, rescue teams, and reconstruction efforts to affected areas.

Provides a temporary solution while permanent bridges are being repaired or rebuilt.

Construction and Infrastructure:

Used as a temporary working platform for construction projects, such as building new bridges or repairing existing ones.

Provides a stable, elevated surface for workers, equipment, and materials during the construction process.

Features of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

Versatility:

The Bailey platform can be adapted to span various distances, from 10 meters to over 60 meters, by adding or removing support bays.

The height of the bridge can also be adjusted by adding or removing panels, accommodating different terrain and clearance requirements.

Load-Bearing Capacity:

The Bailey platform is designed to support a wide range of loads, including military vehicles, heavy equipment, and civilian traffic.
