Mechanical Engineering, bridge bearings, structural engineering Specialists In Structural Movement Control

We design, supply and install bearings, but we also offer the option of additional lubricating systems for bearing conservation. Allow us to inspect, assess and reveal this option, and it might turn out to be a massive saving for you. 

Facts
Many old bridges have existing bearings that are changed due to high friction or seizure at sliding surfaces. Often otherwise sound, many bearings can be restored in situ and lubricated by fitting an automatic timed discharge grease capsule.

Cost
Replacement programmes require design, temporary works, jacking, demolition, new bearings, installation, closures and management. A lubrication system can reduce costs by 95% or more.

Client Action
Order an Inspection to reveal practicalities and recommendations. The inspection will provide a report on the bearing condition that is generally necessary at intervals under assessment and maintenance programmes.

Ekspan Action
Inspect, report and where beneficial, propose, engineer and install a lubrication system at a fraction of bearing replacement cost. 

Applications
This lubrication system can be applied to rail bridges (e.g. Forth Rail Bridge), highways structures and industrial bearings.

Versatility
Special lubricants are available to suit all types of bearing surface materials.

Service
Timer on cartridges is easily set for required discharge periods. Replacements are quick and simple to install.
