The Civilmart M-Lock® Bridge System provides a fast, simple means of bridging small to medium spans using precast, reinforced concrete components.
All components are manufactured under factory-controlled conditions in purpose-made moulds. This reduces the risk involved in transporting premixed concrete over long distances. Virtually no on-site wet mix is required apart from a minimal amount of grout.
The system is designed for single or multi-span bridges with span lengths between 7 and 15 meters. Ideal applications include rural road bridges, sub-division bridges, pedestrian bridges and utility bridges.
The M-Lock® Bridge System provides an economical and effective replacement for aging timber bridges and combines benefits of durability and versatility with short construction times.

More durable than composite bridge systems such as timber/concrete. Precast concrete also increases durability because of the strength of the highly compacted concrete used. All precast components have been designed for SM1600 live loading in accordance with the relevant structural requirements of Australian Standard Codes and accepted engineering standards and principles.
After the piles are installed, the precast concrete headstock beams and planks are bolted into place. For high traffic volume bridges, transverse post-tensioning can be used in place of plank bolts. Accessories include steel guardrail or precast barriers, precast end protection beams or approach slabs and wing walls.
M-Lock® Bridge System has various use cases and applications.
