With more complex and substantial machining demands for projects, Ekspan now operate a state-of-the-art Hurco DCX3226i CNC machine, an essential addition to their in-house manufacturing facilities.
USL Ekspan is the UK's largest quality bearing supplier and installer to meet demands both in the UK and worldwide.
USL Ekspan install an extensive range of mechanical and elastomeric expansion joints and seal joints to CD358 standards.
Bridge jacking and temporary works are an essential part of most bearing replacement and refurbishment operations, ensuring works are carried out safely and efficiently without affecting the integrity of the structure.
The importance of carrying out bearing and expansion joint inspections by proficient and competent engineers who understand their functionality can often be key to maximising a structure’s lifespan and avoiding major, unexpected, emergency repair costs.
USL Ekspan have carried out a number of projects for swing bridges and foot bridges. From design, fabrication of all structural components, to trial erection and final installation. Details of these type of bridge installations can be supplied on request.
USL Ekspan, working for BAMNuttall (main contractor for East Sussex County Council) successfully complete bearing installation on the brand-new bridge which has been constructed and erected to span over the Seaford railway line and Mill Creek – as part of BAM Nuttall’s scheme in their construction of the new 700m single carriageway road ‘Newhaven Port Access Road’.
USL Ekspan designed, manufactured and installed 24 no steel spherical bearings for this structure.
Our works on this project also included design and installation of temporary works and bridge jacking.
Prior to installing the bridge beam, we worked with BAM Nuttall to adjust the height of the temporary works to meet their level requirements.
Another great project to have had the pleasure of working on with great collaboration throughout from all involved, right from start to finish!
