The ideal solution. The modular steel-composite structure is prefabricated off-site and installed quickly, with minimal on-site construction time and disruption. Suitable for heavy traffic, in both temporary and permanent applications.
Applications
In the event of floods, wildfires, or other natural disasters, the Rapid-Deploy bridge can be quickly deployed to restore critical connections for emergency services, residents, and logistical operations. The bridge is designed according to the Eurocodes, meaning it meets internationally recognized design standards and can easily be deployed across different countries and projects.
Designed for rapid deployment during military operations, exercises, and logistical movements. The Rapid-Deploy Bridge restores critical connections, supports the mobility of heavy vehicles and equipment, and thanks to its modular structure, is easy to install with limited use of lifting equipment.
Remote mining sites require solutions that are easy to transport and quick to assemble. The Rapid-Deploy Bridge consists of a limited number of modules and connections, making on-site assembly efficient and keeping logistical impact to a minimum.
For contractors who regularly need temporary bridges, the Rapid-Deploy Bridge offers a durable alternative to rental structures. The modular bridge is easy to install, reusable across multiple projects, and reduces total lifecycle cost.
Our modular hybrid steel-composite bridge combines the rapid deployment of conventional truss and panel bridges with the quality, durability, and comfort of a permanent bridge. Prefabricated off-site, modularly constructed, and designed for heavy traffic, with minimal on-site construction time and maximum flexibility.
Quick to install, easy to transport, and designed to last.

With our Rapid-Deploy approach, a bridge can often be installed in just a few hours. Because the bridge is fully prefabricated and can be transported in a standard shipping container if necessary, we keep on-site construction time to a minimum. This ensures that access is maintained and minimizes disruption to users and the surrounding area.
Both options are possible. Rapid-Deploy Bridges feature a sleek and elegant design and can be used for both temporary and permanent applications. Depending on the application, we design the bridge as a rapid emergency solution or as a fully-fledged permanent bridge. For civil applications, the bridge complies with applicable design and safety standards, while specific operational requirements and standards are applied for military applications.
Yes. Rapid-Deploy Bridges are designed according to a modular and demountable principle, which means that—depending on the application, they can easily be moved, reused, or temporarily deployed at another location. This makes them particularly well-suited for temporary infrastructure, emergency situations, military applications, and projects where flexibility is important.
Depending on the project, the abutments or foundations can be constructed of concrete, steel, or other foundation systems. Thanks to the combination of steel and composite materials, we can significantly reduce the bridge’s dead weight. As a result, in many cases the foundations can be designed to be more compact, which not only reduces construction costs and time but also minimizes the impact on the surrounding area.
The installation time is determined by the accessibility of the site, the size and weight of the bridge, the hoisting conditions, the preparatory foundation work, and the chosen installation method. Thanks to our prefabricated and Rapid-Deploy approach, many bridges can be installed in a single hoisting operation and within a few hours, thereby minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.
Comfort, safety, and lifespan as the starting point. A bicycle bridge requires more than a strong design. Comfort, safety, loads, and lifespan determine the quality of the bridge. That's why we design, engineer, produce, and install custom bicycle bridges in steel, wood, and composite, always with the most suitable material choice for your project.
Walkways create safe and accessible passages in nature reserves, parks, and water zones, while protecting the ground beneath from erosion and damage.
A pedestrian bridge should not only be safe and functional, but also fit beautifully into its surroundings. BestBridges designs, engineers, produces, and installs pedestrian bridges in composite, wood, and steel, with attention to accessibility, durability, and maintenance.
