Bridges
From design and construction to the monitoring of bridges, OVM seamlessly integrates the full value chain, ensuring precision and efficiency at every stage.
Bridges and viaducts are essential infrastructure that drive economic and social progress. They require expert design, construction, and maintenance to ensure long-term stability and performance. At OVM, we bring decades of experience in bridge construction, delivering tailored solutions that range from post-tensioning to full-scale builds.
We address the complex challenges of bridge projects, such as optimizing span lengths, using sustainable materials, reducing construction timelines, and ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.
Our professional bridge services
Value engineering for bridge project
Clients seek cost-effective, smart solutions that maintain functionality and long-term performance. Every bridge project must meet environmental, budget, and scheduling constraints. OVM, with expertise in deck erection and bridge construction, provides comprehensive solutions. From detailed analysis to engineering, equipment supply, and on-site execution, we ensure the best approach to each project.
Design and construction methods
Construction methodology is crucial to project success, directly impacting cost and time efficiency. At OVM, we focus on selecting the most effective methods during the design phase, using our expertise to create optimized, high-performance structures.
Engineering and production of structural components
At OVM, we ensure optimal design and performance by using the right structural fittings. Our cable anchorages, bridge bearings, seismic devices, and expansion joints are all designed, manufactured, and tested in-house. We adhere to international standards, with each product developed under the guidance of our expert technical team. Over the years, OVM has expanded its offerings, now including cables, seismic isolation systems, engineering, and monitoring, strengthening our brand and market presence.
Bridge construction and project management
Building a bridge requires advanced technical, planning, logistics, and human expertise. We prioritize project performance at every stage, including its environmental impact. Our decentralized approach combines local knowledge, global expertise through knowledge-sharing platforms, and strong project management capabilities. Stay cables are the ideal solution for spans between 100 to 500 meters, designed to withstand severe loads and environmental conditions. OVM leads in stay cable solutions, offering modular, versatile systems that minimize site disruption.
Bridge joint solutions and integration
Bridge joints are essential for allowing deck movement and expansion, absorbing horizontal, vertical, and oblique forces. These critical components ensure smooth, continuous surfaces for traffic. Their design, supply, and installation require expert handling, as well as regular inspections and maintenance. Specialized teams ensure the proper integration of structural components with technical support to maintain quality and performance.
Bridge monitoring and maintenance
Our monitoring systems use sensors to track the structural behavior and stability of bridges, helping optimize maintenance and repairs. Bridges are critical to transport networks and must remain safe and functional. Key components like stay cables and bearings face heavy stress and harsh conditions, requiring regular maintenance to ensure stability.
OVM provides expert inspections, preventive maintenance, monitoring, and data analysis to maintain the health and safety of bridges
