Fully integral multi-span bridges with our Integral Headstock
Introducing the InQuik Integral Headstock
The InQuik Integral Headstock allows the creation of fully integral multi-span bridges creating a monolithic structure by ingeniously connecting the deck panels and headstocks.
Compared to conventional simply supported bridges, the Integral Headstock holds a key advantage – the elimination of bearing replacements. In traditional designs, replacing bearings necessitates the intricate lifting of deck panel units through synchronized hydraulic jacks. This procedure not only incurs substantial costs but also poses inherent risks.
