The role of modular bailey footbridge in the field of urban construction

Traffic dispersal and optimization

• Ease traffic pressure on the ground: In busy areas of the city, such as commercial areas, transportation hubs and other areas with high traffic flow, the construction of modular Berei footbridges can separate pedestrians from motor lanes, reduce pedestrian interference on the ground traffic, improve the efficiency of motor vehicles, and effectively alleviate traffic congestion.

• Improve the pedestrian transportation network: it helps to connect different areas in the city separated by natural or artificial barriers such as roads and rivers, such as parks, squares, business districts, etc., improve the urban pedestrian transportation system, provide more convenient and safe passage paths for pedestrians, and promote the connection and interaction among various functional areas of the city.

Improve the quality of urban space

• Create urban landscape highlights: its simple and modern steel structure can be integrated with the natural landscape and architectural style of the city, becoming a unique landscape in the city. For example, the Bailey footbridge built in the city park and waterfront area can complement the surrounding natural elements such as mountains and rivers and green plants to enhance the overall beauty of the city and create a more pleasant urban space for residents and visitors

• Create diverse public space: It can provide urban residents with a variety of public activity space for leisure, walking, viewing, etc. People can stop on the bridge to enjoy the scenery, feel the charm of the city, enhance the vitality and attractiveness of the city, and promote the use and development of urban public space.

Temporary and emergency support

• Meet temporary traffic needs: During large-scale events held in the city, such as sports events, artistic performances, exhibitions, etc., modular Bailey footbridge can be quickly built to meet the traffic needs of a large number of people in a short time. After the end of the activity, it can be easily disassembled, and will not have a long-term impact on the normal traffic and space use of the city, reflecting its flexibility and efficiency.

• Emergency rescue channel: When the city suffers from natural disasters or other emergencies, such as earthquakes, floods and other damage to roads and Bridges, modular Bailey footbridge can be quickly assembled and built as an emergency rescue channel, providing rapid and reliable protection for rescue workers, material transportation and evacuation of the affected people, helping to improve the city’s emergency rescue capability and disaster response efficiency.

Economics and sustainability

Reduce construction costs: Factory prefabricated Bailey sheets and other modular components can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. At the same time, its reusable characteristics make it possible to share costs in multiple projects, reduce resource waste, and have a high economy, in line with the requirements of saving resources and reducing costs in urban construction.

• Sustainable development: In urban construction, the temporary and mobile nature of the modular bailey footbridge allows it to be flexibly adapted and reused according to different stages and needs of urban development. For example, in the early stage of the development of the new urban area, the bailey footbridge can be built as a temporary passable facility, and after the completion of the formal bridge or road construction, it will be dismantled and transferred to other places where it is needed to continue to use, so as to realize the recycling of resources and promote the sustainable development of urban construction.

Construction convenience

• Shorten the construction cycle: most components are prefabricated in the factory, and only simple assembly operations are carried out on site, greatly reducing the time and workload of on-site construction. Compared with traditional cast-in-place or monolithic bridge construction methods, the modular bailey footbridge has a shorter construction period, can be put into service faster, and has less impact on urban traffic and residents’ lives.

• Reduce the impact of construction on the environment: Due to the short construction time and small amount of work, it can effectively reduce the environmental pollution such as noise and dust generated during the construction process, reduce the interference to the life of surrounding residents and the urban environment, and is conducive to the environmental protection and ecological construction of the city.
