Bridge Packing Timber

Bridge packing timber refers to the wooden materials used for packing and supporting bridge components during construction or maintenance. These timbers are specifically designed to provide temporary support and stability to bridge elements such as beams, girders, and decks.

In the supply class Bridges, Fixed And Floating, bridge packing timber is categorized as a prefabricated structure. Prefabricated structures are components or systems that are manufactured off-site and then transported to the construction site for assembly. In the case of bridge packing timber, they are typically pre-cut and shaped to specific dimensions before being delivered to the bridge construction site.

Bridge packing timber is an essential component in bridge construction as it helps distribute the load and provide temporary support during the construction process. It ensures that the bridge components are properly aligned and supported until the permanent structure is in place.

When selecting bridge packing timber, it is important to consider factors such as the weight and dimensions of the bridge components, the expected load, and the duration of the construction or maintenance work. The timber should be strong enough to support the weight of the bridge elements and durable enough to withstand the construction process.

Overall, bridge packing timber plays a crucial role in the construction and maintenance of bridges, providing temporary support and stability to ensure the safe and efficient completion of the project.
