There are more than 25,000 railway bridges in Germany. Around one third of these are in poor condition, and 1,100 bridges are so badly damaged that instead of being rehabilitated only demolition and new construction are accept-able. For the replacement of structures with short spans, Max Bögl now offers a modular system, the Hybrid Railway Bridge, which fully exploits the advantages of serial produc-tion in terms of construction time, quality and economy.
