Replacement Bridges For Washed Out Roads

How To Quickly Replace A Washed Out Road

With some of the heavy flooding seemingly occurring everywhere these days we’ve had more and more inquiries about the ERE S80T portable bridging systems as a solution.

Here’s a quick two and a half minute video showing an installation of one of our systems to help solve the exact problem of a washed out road/bridge.

This particular wash out left people cut off from local roads and although driving through the stream was a potential option, it was also a huge environmental concern.

That’s where ERE Logistics came into play. Our system allowed a fairly quick and easy installation that was environmentally friendly and prevented further destruction of the stream and surrounding ponds via harmful chemicals and vehicle traffic and allowed the nearby farm to get heavy equipment in and out as needed.

Hope you enjoy the video,

Washed Out Road, No Problem

by admin

Weather has been playing havoc in all parts of the country recently. Whether it is rain, tornados or flooding, something seems to be affecting just about every region. One of the big problems for many rural people is having their only roadway washed out by some of these huge rain storms.

ERE recently ran into this situation and the question was, how can you turn this,

and this,

into a workable solution that allows a local farmer to leave his property? In this case the answer was installing a portable bridge solution that allows them to easily cross the river and in this case is also capable of supporting the heavy equipment commonly found on a farm.

Here’s what that answer looked like!

Winter Bridging – Temporary Bridge For Fire Management

by admin

ERE Logistics just took on a project with Parks Canada to install a temporary bridge for them in Banff National Park. Despite some rather cold weather and some huge delays involving crossing some busy railway tracks the installation was flawless.

The last day of the install we were dealing with -25 Celsius temperatures, but other than slowing down the installation itself, it showed how we can install in everything from desert conditions with extreme heat to Canadian winters with extreme cold.

The final install was a 137 foot bridge which will be left in place for three months to assist in fire management for the Parks people. Once they are finished we will come back in, remove the bridge and other than tire tracks and some over turned stones there will be essentially zero impact on the environment and nothing left behind.

Just another example of a great use for our portable bridging system. If you would like more information about the ERE S80T Portable bridging system be sure to leave a comment or you can reach us via the About section above.

Emergency bridges are not an area we had previously been targeting, but with all the crazy weather the world has been seeing globally lately we have actually had clients come to us looking for this type of a solution.

With roads getting washed out, bridges getting destroyed and people in dire need of assistance, time is of the essence. This is where a system like the ERE S80T portable bridge system can be vital to getting support people in and victims out, quickly and efficiently.

With the ability to support vehicles up to 80 tons currently and the upcoming capability to support 90 ton vehicles, our portable bridge systems are becoming ideal for getting heavy equipment into areas where it is most needed. As more and more companies and governments are becoming aware of how ideal our bridge system works as an emergency road replacement solution we are receiving additional inquiries each month.

This is part of the reason we at ERE Logistics are continuing to evolve our system. Our latest features include longer leg systems, now allowing us to bridge deeper flood areas, handrail systems making the units ideal for moving large quantities of pedestrians safely and efficiently and even more safety features making the bridge system faster and more efficient to operate.

For government agencies and more cost efficiencies we even built the system based on the military flatrack systems which are a pallet system allowing vehicles to have multi uses and allowing more cost effective storage and delivery options. Just one more way we provide solutions while saving overall costs to the buyers.
