Bridge construction

Bridges create connections. We plan stationary and movable bridges. In the special field of movable bridges, we have already realised bascule, swing, lifting and folding bridges for road, pedestrian and rail traffic. In addition to aesthetics, design, mechanical engineering, steel construction and electrical engineering are of decisive importance for a convincing solution. Interdisciplinary cooperation in all planning phases guarantees successful project realisation.
