Acrow Bridge, a leading international bridge engineering and supply company, today announced the release of The Acrow Metric Handbook - 4th Edition, which reflects improvements recently made to the Acrow 700XS Modular Bridging System.
The handbook is intended to explain the design characteristics and requirements of ordering and installing an Acrow 700XS Bridge. All dimensions and other design factors are expressed in metric units. The North American Standard Engineering catalog is in final print and will be released shortly.
The Acrow system has been designed to carry highway and pedestrian loadings as specified by the American AASHTO bridge design code, and complies with most national standards, including Euro, British, and Canadian, as well as Military Tri-Lateral specifications. The equipment is fabricated entirely from steel and is provided with a hot dipped galvanized finish to ensure excellent weathering capability. The bridge is assembled using only pins and bolts and requires no site welding. All components are 100% reusable.
"As our new handbook demonstrates, Acrow's modular steel technology platform is being constantly improved and enhanced," said Bill Killeen, President and CEO of Acrow Bridge. "Now in its third generation and established worldwide as a leading bridge product, Acrow is able to provide solutions to even the most difficult access situations, using only high quality, high strength steel from ISO-certified mills in the United States."
