Functionality

Bridge Overhang Brackets are a necessity for the construction of bridge overhangs. Made from steel, Overhang Brackets are accompanied by plywood sheathing and timber joists for the main formwork construction prior to concrete pouring. The brackets support the wooden formwork from underneath while concrete is being poured from above. Moreover, these brackets are attached on the side of the bridge using Coil Rod and hangers. In addition to bridge overhangs, the brackets are also applicable in other systems like water treatment plants.

Components of Overhang Brackets

Installing Overhang Brackets

Overhang Brackets emphasize efficiency. These brackets are able to be assembled on the ground or on the bridge deck with a few steps. When installing overhang brackets, the process is swift and only takes a few minutes. These brackets can make use of existing bolts for installation, instead of relying on additional clamps. Additionally, these overhang brackets are attached to concrete box beams, precast concrete beams, and structural steel beams. Once concrete pouring is complete, overhang brackets are removed and stored away for reuse on a different project.
