Triple system protecting railroad bridge in Greece

MAURER matches hydraulic dampers, sliding isolation pendulums and shear keys.

Munich, Domokos. A well-matched combination of large hydraulic dampers (MHDs), sliding isolation pendulums (SIP-S) and shear keys (HKEs) protects the new railroad bridge SG26 in Greece against seismic-induced damages, stabilizes it against braking forces of the trains and allows for thermal move- ments with least possible resistance. The MSM® sliding material ensures longevity and stable performance for at least 50 years.
