Steel Girder Bridge Erection Equipment
Complete Equipment Rental for Steel Girder Bridge Construction in India
Electorc Engineering is one of India's most experienced providers of bridge erection and launching equipment on rental basis. We serve railway contractors, infrastructure firms, and government project teams working on steel girder bridge construction across every state in India.
Our equipment fleet covers all three major steel girder bridge types used on Indian Railways and national highway projects — composite girder bridges, open web girder bridges, and bowstring arch bridges.
Types of Bridges We Support
Specialized equipment for every major steel girder bridge type
Composite Girder Bridges
Composite girder bridges combine steel girders with a concrete deck slab to create a strong, efficient, and economical bridge structure. They are extensively used on Indian Railways for spans where speed of construction and load-bearing capacity are both priorities.
Why Composite Girder Bridges need specialist equipment:
The steel girders in composite bridges are heavy and require precise placement using launchers and cranes to ensure correct alignment before the concrete deck is cast. Any misalignment at this stage compromises the structural integrity of the entire bridge.
Equipment available for Composite Girder Bridges:
- Girder launching equipment
- Erection cranes and supports
- Temporary supports and trestles
- Launching nose assemblies
- Alignment and leveling tools
Open Web Girder (OWG) Bridges
Open web girder bridges, also known as through-truss or lattice girder bridges, are characterized by their triangulated steel framework which provides exceptional strength for longer spans. They are widely used on Indian Railways for river crossings and deep valley spans where a solid deck girder would be impractical.
Why Open Web Girder (OWG) Bridges need specialist equipment:
OWG bridges require specialized erection methodology because of their structural complexity — the web members must be assembled and connected with precision, and the launching sequence must be carefully planned and executed.
Equipment available for Open Web Girder (OWG) Bridges:
- Launching trusses and noses
- Temporary bearings and supports
- Assembly platforms and staging
- Hydraulic jacking systems
- Skidding and sliding equipment
Bowstring Arch Bridges
Bowstring arch bridges are among the most structurally distinctive bridge types used in Indian infrastructure — characterized by their curved arch rib connected to a straight tie beam by vertical or diagonal hangers. They are used where aesthetic considerations combine with engineering requirements for medium to long spans.
Why Bowstring Arch Bridges need specialist equipment:
Erecting a bowstring arch bridge requires careful sequencing and specialized equipment to handle the arch rib, tie beam, and hanger installation in the correct order.
Equipment available for Bowstring Arch Bridges:
- MIG welding machines
- Arc welding machines
- Winch machines
- Cutting sets (gas & plasma)
- Hydraulic jacks (50-400 tons capacity)
- Wire cables & rigging equipment
- Halogen & LED site lighting
- MIG welding rolls & consumables
Why Rent Bridge Erection Equipment from Electorc Engineering
Renting bridge erection equipment rather than purchasing outright is the standard practice for most contractors and project firms in India — and for good reason. Equipment that is used intensively on one project and then sits idle is an enormous capital cost with no return.
Electorc Engineering makes renting straightforward, reliable, and cost-effective.
