The configurator is focused on the conceptual design stage and aims to streamline the production of information for option selection reports and Approval in Principle. It guides the user through defining the overall bridge geometry, selecting ground conditions, and choosing beam sizes. The tool outputs indications of structural utilisation for key elements of the bridge system and displays results from a parametric design database.
Benefits of our configurator
The Modular Bridges Toolkit further enhances these through rapid design and configuration, allowing for quick evaluation of modular bridge designs.
- It promotes standardisation and efficiency by using pre-certified, off-site manufactured products, which streamlines design, manufacturing, and assembly processes.
- The toolkit aids in enhanced decision-making by offering structural utilisation indicators and cost comparisons, integrating parametric design data to support detailed design capabilities.
- It assists in risk management by highlighting potential risks in conceptual designs and accommodates collaborative development through partnerships with WSP and Ramboll, ensuring advanced engineering analysis and reliable design outputs.
