Boat bridge at Zürichsee in Switzerland

Saltwater was the reason why the floating bridge was upgraded with corrosion resistant profiles and gratings. The previous solution was of steel with wooden planks that were destroyed by the aggressive salt water constituting a safety risk for the visitors of the harbor.

The load-carrying construction was made with profiles from our construction programme:

• Square tubes
• I-profiles
• U-profiles carbon fibre reinforced

Advantages of GRP profiles:

• Quick and simple machining
• Corrosion resistance
• Great strength
• Low weight
• No maintenance
