Bridge construction solutions

Build bridges that last, with VSL expertise

Bridges, viaducts, and footbridges are essential components of transportation infrastructure, enabling mobility across terrain, water, and urban obstacles. Whether for road, rail, or pedestrian use, the design and construction of these structures require advanced engineering, precision execution, and robust long-term performance. VSL provides specialized solutions for the construction of cast-in-place, precast, and cable-supported bridges, delivering efficient, safe, and durable structures tailored to each project’s constraints.

What we do: VSL’s bridge construction capabilities 

VSL delivers a complete portfolio of bridge construction solutions, from foundations to stay cables, combining structural engineering, proprietary equipment, and global know-how.  

Arch Bridge Construction

Durable and visually distinctive, VSL’s precast arch systems provide structural efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Precast segments enable rapid installation and lower carbon footprint in complex or sensitive environments.
Arch Bridge Construction – Bridges

Bearings

Bridge bearings ensure safe load transfer and controlled movement between the deck and supports. VSL designs, supplies, and installs elastomeric, pot, and spherical bearings tailored to bridge geometry, load, and environmental demands.
Bearings – Bridges

Deck Construction

VSL masters all deck erection methods, span-by-span, balanced cantilever, incremental launching, or heavy lifting, using proprietary gantries, form travelers, and lifting equipment for fast, safe, and precise execution.
Deck Construction – Bridges

Joints

VSL provides modular and asphaltic plug joint systems designed to absorb deck movements, protect against water ingress, and ensure a smooth, quiet ride, from small viaducts to large expressways.
