Fly Over Bridge – Bridge-on-Bridge System for Heavy Transport
The Fly Over Bridge, also known as a Bridge-on-Bridge system, is a custom-engineered temporary bridging solution for heavy transport. It enables heavy transport vehicles to cross bridges with insufficient load capacity and other obstacles safely. CC Bäuml handles engineering, transport, installation and dismantling.

When a bridge becomes an obstacle
Bridges with insufficient load capacity, viaducts, ditches or bodies of water can block a heavy transport route. This may result in lengthy detours, transloading operations and substantial additional costs.
The Bridge-on-Bridge system provides a temporary crossing. It is engineered to suit the required span, the obstacle and the axle configuration of the heavy transport vehicle.
Case study: Euskirchen
For the delivery of four wind turbines, a public bridge with a maximum permitted gross weight of only 16 tonnes had to be crossed.

Components
The Fly Over Bridge enabled rotor blades up to 92 metres long, tower sections up to 58 metres long and additional components weighing up to 140 tonnes to cross the bridge.
According to the client, an alternative transport solution would have incurred additional costs of more than €500,000. The project was completed for REA Windprojekte and Energiekontor.
Have your heavy transport route assessed
We assess whether the Fly Over Bridge can be used to cross an obstacle safely and cost-effectively. For an initial assessment, we require details of the transport, axle loads, the obstacle and the planned date of operation.
