Panel Bridges

You can make a longer bridge, a stronger bridge, or a wider bridge simply by using more pieces. The 700XS^® Acrow Panel Bridging system is the third generation of improvements beyond the original, world-renowned Bailey Bridge. Briefly, the design of the new 700XS^® System has produced a lighter bridge with a truss which is 50% deeper and, as a result, 50% stronger in bending and 20% stronger in shear.

Large orthotropic deck units are designed to handle CAN/CSA-S6-00 wheel loads. The plate deck surface readily accepts surface overlays, such as asphalt or epoxy aggregates. Thus, the 700XS^® bridge results in a stronger bridge, capable of longer spans using fewer parts. Therefore, Acrow Panel 700XS^® Bridges can be erected faster and are less labor intensive. 

The 700XS^® utilizes the same modular principles that have made the earlier Acrow Panel Bridges such outstanding and time-tested successes. They are easily transported and quickly and easily erected. They can be rolled in full cantilever (launched) from one side of a river gorge or they can be lifted into place. The 700XS^® Bridges are available in three lane, two lane or single lane widths. Any width of bridge can be supplied to fulfill specific requirements. Sidewalks may be cantilevered from one or both sides of any bridge.
