Description of Portable Floating Bridge

Floating bridges were historically constructed using wood. Pontoons were formed by simply lashing several barrels together, by rafts of timbers, or by using boats. Each bridge section consisted of one or more pontoons, which were maneuvered into position and then anchored underwater or on land. The pontoons were linked together using wooden stringers called balks. The balks were covered by a series of cross planks called chesses to form the road surface, and the chesses were secured with side guard rails. A floating bridge can be built in a series of sections, starting from an anchored point on the shore. Modern pontoon bridges usually use prefabricated floating structures.

Specification of Portable Floating Bridge

Application

The floating bridge can be used for pedestrian, road and railway. The structure is not complicated, and the racking is convenient, but the maintenance cost is high. It can be used as an emergency rescue facility or as a temporary transportation facility. It can be used in wartime to ensure that the army can quickly pass through the military floating bridge. In order to increase its mobility, it is usually made of light metal.

Floating bridges have already been used for several decades to bridge small or large waters. Whether for pedestrians, vehicles or materials transport, the load-bearing capacity, flexibility, variability and safety of the modern rent a float pontoon bridges convince time and time again.

Features and Benefits

Modular, pre-engineered, pre-fabricated bridge system
Standard interchangeable components
Highly adaptable, fully reusable and re-locatable
Transported in standard ISO containers
Quick and simple to build using labour
Fully galvanized for long life and minimum maintenance

Advantage

Floating bridges or mobile pontoon bridges are quick and cheap to build, can be extended using a modular system, boast a very high load-bearing capacity, resistant to weathering and maintenance-free. Therefore they can also be used in the long-term, but can also be disassembled fast if required.

How do floating bridges float?
Floating bridges are made of large water-tight concrete pontoons connected rigidly end-to-end, upon which the roadway is built. Despite their heavy concrete composition, the weight of the water displaced by the pontoons is equal to the weight of the structure (including all traffic), which allows the bridge to float.

History
Portable floating bridges have been in use since ancient times and have been used to great advantage in many battles throughout history, among them the Battle of Garigliano, the Battle of Oudenarde, the crossing of the Rhine during World War II, and during the Iran–Iraq War Operation Dawn 8.
