People at the heart of everything we do

Those who manufacture important com-

ponents for bridges or buildings carry a

large responsibility to society. In our daily

work we strive to exercise this responsibi-

lity and to eect posive change for each

other, our customers and the wider so-

ciety.

magebas employees are the founda-

on on which the success of the company

rests. We are proud to have many of the

industrys most knowledgeable and capa-

ble individuals in our team. They expertly

serve our customers oen very parcular

needs, and ensure that the quality of our

products and services remains at the high

level expected.

Support you can depend on

Bridge bearings transfer forces from the

bridge deck to its support pillars or abut-

ments. They can be designed as xed, gui-

ded sliding or free sliding, to suit the mo-

vement requirements of the bridge deck.

Wide range of high-quality bearingsmageba oers many types of bearing to

sasfy bridge-specic requirements: Pot

bearings, spherical bearings, elastomeric

bearings, horizontal force bearings, linear

rocker bearings, liing and measuring be-

arings, pendulum bearings, incremental

launch bearings and seismic bearings. In

the producon of these bearings, only high-

quality materials are used. These include

ROBOSLIDE, a sliding material with excep-

onal qualies, and the POM sealing chain

which has proven its worth over several de-

cades in sealing the elastomeric pad at the

heart of a pot bearing.

High quality as standard

Bearings are manufactured in accordance

with EN1337 unless otherwise specied.

The CE-label declares conformity with the

standards requirements.

Highlights - mageba bridge bearings

RESTONPOT bearings are among

magebas core products, with over

50,000 delivered to date. One of the-

se set a new world record in 2007

with its ability to carry 21,000 tonnes.

RESTONSPHERICAL is a spherical be-

aring which, especially together with

ROBOSLIDE, oers exceponal du-

rability. It is parcularly suitable for

large rotaons and low temperatures.

LASTOBLOCK is an elastomeric bea-

ring which, when using CR elastomer,

is highly resistant to ageing, UV light

and ozone.

RESTONPOT LIFT-CONTROL is a pot

bearing which allows the load from a

structure to be monitored. It can alsobe used as a jack to li the structure if

necessary.

mageba expansion joints

for lasng driver comfort

Expansion joints

Ensuring a smooth driving surface

Expansion joints play a vital role on almost

any bridge, because the bridge deck moves

as a result of temperature and other inu-

ences. The movement gap at each end of

the bridge deck must be bridged with a at

and even driving surface: the expansion

joint. As bridge technology improves, andthe spans of new bridges connue to in-

crease, the demands on bridge expansion

joints also increase.

Wide and well-proven range

mageba supplies a wide range of expansi-

on joint types, including single gap joints,

modular joints, canlever jonits and sli-

ding nger joints, mat joints, railway joints

and sliding plate joints. Worthy of special

menon is the modular expansion joint,

which was invented by mageba several

decades ago and has been connually de-

veloped ever since. This exceponal type

of joint has been installed on over 5,000

bridges around the world.

Highlights mageba expansion joints

TENSAMODULAR (Type LR) is an ex-

ceponally exible and durable joint

with oponal features such as noise-

reducing surface plates, special sli-

ding material, an-skid coang and

earthquake protecon.

TENSAFINGER (Type RSFD) is a can-

lever nger joint which oers high

driving comfort.

TENSAFLEX (Type RC) is a sliding n-

ger joint which oers minimum noise

and maximum driving comfort. It is

easy to install and can accommodate

small vercal movements.

TENSACRETE (Type RE) is a single

gap joint consisng of steel edge pro-

les anchored in high-strength poly-

mer concrete.

lever nger joint with 240mm movement capacity.

3 Installaon of a TENSAFLEX (Type RC) sliding

nger joint. The modular nature of the joint allows

installaon with minimal impact on trac.

4 The TENSACRETE SILENT (Type RE-LS) joint

is parcularly suited to replacement of old joints in

busy roads. It normally requires no breaking out of

concrete and its special polymer concrete cures in

only a few hours.

on a bridge.

Growing demand for seismic protecon

Bridges and other structures can be sub-

jected to extreme movements and vibra-

ons during an earthquake. This can cause

a structure to fail if suitable protecon has

not been detailed. The demand for seismic

protecon features, especially for key buil-

dings and transportaon routes, connuesto grow strongly.

Protecng bridges and buildings

In addion to supplying civil engineering

and building products, mageba also specia-

lises in reliable soluons for the protecon

of structures. A wide range of products are

oered, including Fuse-Box protecon for

modular joints, hydraulic and spring dam-

pers, lead rubber bearings, and vibraon

isolaon products for buildings.

Customised soluons

mageba is also pleased to assist in the de-

velopment of specialised soluons for any

parcular set of requirements, and of su-

stainable soluons with consideraon of

durability, long life and future needs.

Highlights mageba seismic devices

Hydraulic dampers and preloaded

spring dampers absorb and dissipa-

te excessive energy during dynamic

events such as earthquakes.

Spring disc dampers are parcularly

valued for their reliability, top-quality

materials, and durability.

Lead Rubber Bearings (LRB) constu-

te the worlds most widespread solu-

on for the protecon of bridges and

buildings during earthquakes.

Fuse-Box - The Fuse-Box feature en-

sures that a modular joint will dis-

connect from the main structure in a

controlled way during an earthquake.This prevents major damage to the

bridge or expansion joint.

The increasing need for control

The ability of engineers to design, const-

ruct and maintain structures has greatly

improved in recent decades. The need

for structural health monitoring has also

grown accordingly.

Real-me monitoring

mageba monitoring systems provide real-

me informaon on any desired characte-

risc of a structure for example forces,

movements, vibraons, crack widths or

temperature. This increases condence in

the structural integrity of a structure, and

ensures that safety measures can be im-

plemented in good me, if necessary.

Highlights mageba monitoring &

ROBOCONTROL - a modern and exi-

ble system which oers quick, ecient

and inexpensive health checking of

any type of structure.

Inspecons - a vital part of any

structures maintenance plan. Done

properly and professionally, they can

ensure that possible problems are

idened in good me. mageba can provide complete tesng

Leading supplier of building products

Although mageba is best known around

the world for its bridge products, the com-

pany has also supplied building products

for over 30 years and has in the last deca-

de taken a leading posion in the compe-

ve Swiss building products market.

Soluons for movements, vibraons

and noise

Residenal and industrial buildings, hospi-

tals, stadiums, airports, railway staons and

countless other buildings have been ed

with mageba products such as bearings and

expansion joints. These can be specied

to full a wide range of purposes, inclu-

ding noise and vibraon isolaon, ecient

transmission of forces, and earthquake pro-

tecon, and to allow controlled movements

between secons of a building.

Highlights mageba building products

LASTOSTRIP linear strip bearings ac-

commodate forces, movements and

rotaons, prevenng damage and

thus extending the life of the building.

TENSACOMPRESS A expansion joints

facilitate longitudinal, vercal and

transverse movements of one part

of a building relave to another. The

joints inner ribbing ensures that it re-

tains its form in any state of compres-

sion.

VIBRAXSTAIR stair bearings are used

to dampen vibraons from foot trac

on stairs, signicantly reducing the re-

sulng noise.

TENSABASE is a strong and very

elegant expansion joint for use both

internally and externally. It is water-

proof, and its surface proles oer ex-cellent over-rolling comfort while also

reducing noise to a minimum.
