Bridge Access Systems

Our engineering and design expertise applies equally well to the bridge access and maintenance market - another sector where our flare for innovation is called upon to provide effective solutions to problems in unusual operating environments.

Recent successful projects include:

• Lupu Bridge - To keep the world's longest arch bridge in peak condition requires regular maintenance. This is enabled by a bespoke under deck gantry and trolley access system designed and supplied by SCX working in partnership with main construction contractor Shanghai Tongzhu Engineering.

• The Turnbridge Loco Lift Bridge - Spanning the Huddersfield Broad Canal, originally timber-built around 1865, the Loco Lift Bridge has been refurbished and upgraded by SCX to keep it working effectively.

• Severn Second Crossing Bridge Access RAT Train - SCX designed an under deck maintenance train system to carry 6 maintenance engineers to anywhere under the bridge.

• Avonmouth Bridge - SCX has designed and supplied an extensive series of drive and idler bogies to support a number of travelling under bridge access and maintenance gantries.

• Tamar Bridge - Similar to the Avonmouth, SCX designed and supplied a series of drive and idler bogies to support under bridge access gantries.
