Case Studies and Applied Products
RESTON®POT – Pot Bearings
mageba Pot Bearings are durable bearings that can be used in many situations, whether in big or small bridges, or a variety of engineering structures.

TENSA®FINGER RSFD – Cantilever finger joints
The RSFD Cantilever Finger Joint consists of massive steel edge profiles with finger plates that are connected to the lower construction on either side of the bridge gap.

TENSA®FLEX RC – Sliding Finger joints
The Tensa®Flex slip finger can assimilate both horizontal and vertical movements and torsions. Modular structure makes possible the replacement of the system with minimum traffic interferences.
