Utility Bridge for Pipe & Electric Cables

ME BD TECH LTD

Utility Bridge / Utility Pipe Bridge

REQUEST A QUOTE

HEALTHCARE PHARMACEUTICALS LTD required a high-capacity Utility Bridge to support and route multiple electrical and utility service cables from Utility Building-2 to the MEGA Building. The bridge needed to be installed at an elevation of approximately 80 ft, with a usable width of 4 meters, and designed to carry more than 20 tons of combined cable load.


To achieve this, our engineering team developed a custom truss-based bridge structure, optimized for high load capacity, minimum deflection, and safe long-span performance. The primary challenges were:

  1. Ensuring structural stability at an elevated height (80 ft)
  2. Maintaining precise alignment between two existing buildings with limited anchoring options
  3. Designing for more than 20 tons of utility cable load
  4. Working in a congested operational area without disrupting plant activities
  5. Completing fabrication and erection within a strict project timeline


Key Technical Features

  1. Bridge Type: Steel Truss Utility Bridge
  2. Width: 4 meters clear
  3. Elevation: 80 feet above ground
  4. Load Capacity: Designed for cable weight exceeding 10 tons, with safety factor considerations
  5. Structural System: Cross-braced truss with top and bottom chords for enhanced rigidity
  6. Corrosion Protection: Industrial-grade coating system


Project Execution Highlights

  1. Conducted detailed site measurement and dimensional coordination between both buildings.
  2. Engineered a customized truss geometry to meet height and alignment constraints.
  3. Prefabricated major sections offsite to reduce installation time and risk.
  4. Successfully erected the bridge at height using controlled lifting and temporary supports.
  5. Achieved project completion within the required timeframe despite elevation and positioning challenges.


Outcome

The Utility Bridge is now operational, providing a safe, stable, and well-organized route for all major electrical and utility service cables between the two buildings. This ensures greater reliability, improved maintenance access, and future-proof capacity for expansion.
