Gap compensation on the world’s highest railroad bridge

With a height of 359 meters, the Chenab Bridge in India even surpasses the Eiffel Tower. MM1018 was the ideal solution for the friction-locked connection of the massive support pillars. Successfully in use since 2017, it was later used for all bridge bearings and ensures stable and even load transfer.

The highest railroad bridge in the world stands on MM1018 – a real highlight project for our high-performance polymer.

Gap compensation on the “small Golden Gate Bridge”

The Ponte 25 de Abril in Lisbon is a 3.2 km long suspension bridge that carries both road and rail traffic and is visually reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge. When replacing 500 bridge bearings in 2021, it was crucial to ensure even load distribution.

A perfect task for MM1018, which ensured gap-free force transmission while the bridge remained in operation.

Mandovi railroad bridge – replacement of bearings in record time

The outdated bearings on the Mandovi railroad bridge in Goa, India, had to be replaced within a time window of 4 hours due to ongoing train traffic. Conventional methods were out of the question.

Thanks to the fast curing of MM1018, the friction-locked gap compensation could be carried out efficiently. A specially developed injection cushion further accelerated the process and ensured stability and safety under extreme time pressure.
