We do Replacement of Pot PTFE Bearings for Long-Span & Multi-Span Bridges, Metro Rail & Elevated Corridors, Cable-Stayed & Suspension Bridges, Interchanges & Flyovers, Structures with High Load & Movement Requirements.
Pot PTFE Bearings are high-capacity structural bearings used in bridges and flyovers to accommodate large vertical loads and rotational movements. They consist of a steel pot enclosing an elastomeric disc and a PTFE sliding surface, allowing controlled rotation and translation. Over time, these bearings can deteriorate due to wear, corrosion, or misalignment—necessitating precise and safe replacement.
Detailed inspection of existing bearings for damage, corrosion, sliding surface degradation, or mechanical failure.
Use of synchronized hydraulic jacks to temporarily lift the structure and relieve pressure on the bearing assembly.
Safe removal of old bearings followed by cleaning and preparation of the base and pedestal surfaces.
Installation of new IS/IRC/MoRTH-compliant Pot PTFE bearings with proper alignment, anchorage, and surface finish.
Filling of gaps and voids using high-strength, non-shrink grout for uniform load transfer and seating.
Testing and monitoring of bearing alignment, rotation, and slide capability after installation to ensure correct performance.
From national highways to urban flyovers, our portfolio includes the successful rehabilitation of concrete and steel bridges across challenging terrains and timelines.
Outdated or damaged Pot PTFE bearings can compromise the function and safety of your structure. Vasant Tech ensures accurate, compliant, and long-lasting bearing replacement, restoring optimal performance. Reach out today to schedule a site inspection or technical assessment.
