Replacement of Elastomeric Bearings
Restoring Structural Flexibility & Load Transfer Efficiency
At Vasant Tech, we offer expert solutions for the replacement of elastomeric bearings in bridges and elevated structures. This service is essential for ensuring the proper distribution of loads, accommodating movements, and maintaining long-term structural health. We do replacement of elastomeric bearings for Highway Bridges & Urban Flyovers, Metro Rail Viaducts, Elevated Corridors & Bypass Structures, Railway Overbridges (ROBs), Pedestrian & Utility Bridges
Elastomeric bearings are flexible support elements made of rubber (with or without steel laminations), installed between bridge superstructures and substructures. They allow controlled movement due to thermal expansion, vehicular loads, and seismic activity while transferring vertical and horizontal loads safely. Over time, these bearings age, deform, or crack, requiring timely inspection and replacement.
Our Services
Our Bearing Replacement Services Include
Condition Assessment
Inspection of existing bearings for signs of cracking, bulging, aging, or misalignment using visual and mechanical testing methods.
Lifting & Jacking Setup
Use of hydraulic jacks and load cells to safely lift the superstructure while relieving pressure on the bearing assembly.
