Building bearings: What is at stake?

Often used in heavy and high-rise buildings, structural bearings ensure load transfer, movement, rotation and vertical or horizontal restraints – all depending on the building design and critical locations.

The use of bearings in building construction increases the load-bearing capacity of the structure, which in turn improves durability.

How VSL can help you

Our bearings are tailor-designed and fabricated to meet specific design requirements for loading, movement, rotation, restraints, building surroundings and concrete resistance of the structure. Our bearings are manufactured within our VSL Spain-based factory.
