Modular footbridges are a type of pedestrian bridge that is constructed using prefabricated steel components. These bridges are specifically designed to provide safe passage for pedestrians and cyclists across rivers, highways, railways, or any other obstacles.

Compared to general transportation and bridge construction, PB100 Modular footbridges have unique characteristics. They are economical and small-scale, designed to provide connectivity for villagers in remote rural areas. These bridges are exclusively for pedestrian use, with vehicles and agricultural machinery prohibited. The design loading is typically 3kN/m², significantly smaller than conventional bridges.

After years of discussion and collaboration, PB100 Modular footbridge incorporates the advantages of Bailey bridge technology with optimal material selection. EVERCROSS developed this lightweight solution considering functional demands, environmental conditions, technical feasibility, material transportation, and cost.

With reduced loading requirements, structural members were redesigned to be lighter while maintaining safety. This addresses conventional Bailey bridge limitations while offering unique advantages for PB100 Modular footbridge projects.

This lightweight footbridge is constructed from fabricated steel components including load-bearing bailey panels, transoms (floor beams), decks, and support members. The standardized prefabricated components enable simple construction within reasonable budget constraints.

• Simple structure
• Standardization of prefabricated components
• Controllable cost
• Fast construction speed

1. High strength and stiffness, allowing reduced beam height and weight compared to concrete bridges
2. Steel's isotropic properties ensure uniform material quality and predictable performance
3. Factory prefabricated with on-site assembly using pins and bolts - short construction period unaffected by seasons
4. Suitable for industrialized manufacture and easy transportation
5. Easy to repair and replace with long lifespan and recyclable materials

Steel modular footbridges are used in urban and rural areas to connect communities, parks, and recreational areas, or to separate pedestrian/cyclist paths from vehicular traffic. They're also ideal for temporary access during construction projects or special events.

Available as Temporary Bridges, Emergency Bridges, and Fixed Bridges. The system can erect suspension bridges of varied spans with few components, light weight, and low cost. No special tools or heavy equipment are required - elements are small enough for manual transport yet strong enough for their intended use.

Light Structural Design:

Based on standard bailey panel structure, each panel weighs less than 120kg and measures 2 meters. This lightweight design enables applications in challenging locations while reducing costs and resource waste.

Convenient Transportation:

Designed for remote, rugged terrain where manual labor transports materials. Lightweight components are easily handled and assembled on site.

Moderate Construction Difficulty:

Simplified, standardized structure requires minimal tools and machinery, allowing broader participation in projects.

Good Durability:

Steel open sections prevent water/dust accumulation. Zinc galvanization prevents rust without polluting rivers with traditional anti-rust paint.

Long Span:

Longer spans than gabion bridges require fewer piers, minimizing riverbed disturbance and maintaining water flow.
