Mabey Bridge Products & Specifications
We have a range of 6 bridges that can be delivered to almost anywhere in the world in
6 weeks by sea freight and in less than 1 week by air freight

For most of the world the equipment can be shipped by sea, delivered in country, built
and traffic running on them within 6-8 weeks.

Our bridges are designed for permanent use but are convenient for emergency &
temporary applications because of the easy and quick method of assembly

The proposed bridges are similar to thousands of bridges that are currently being used
globally as permanent infrastructure some of which have been for 25 years

If the host territory doesnt want these bridges as part of their permanent infrastructure
they can be easily disassembled and stored for future emergency bridge deployment

All of the components are 100% reusable & recyclable components
Our bridges can be reconfigured for different sites & used as
permanent or temporary bridges

Mabey Bridge In Country Support
Our multilingual staff can be deployed at a short notice out of the UK, Sri Lanka,
Philippines, our US subsidiary and soon Australia

We have a network of Representatives and Distributors globally who can provide support
to project our response capability

We have established long term relationships with end-users globally: Roads/Highways
Departments, and local contractors that we could leverage for support or assistance

Our site advisors have a great depth of experience in reconnaissance of sites, planning,
logistics and installation support for our products

Operational experience in different environments including: urban, rural, underdeveloped,
and developed

Installed bridges in challenging locations where we had to cooperate and work with local
people from different cultures and often in different languages

Disasters Are Increasing
In 2012, 357 natural triggered disasters were registered. This was both less than the
average annual disaster frequency observed from 2002 to 2011(394)

Each year around 216 million people are affected with a damage of over 90 billion

Current demographic shifts, climate change, environmental degradation and economic
globalisation, mean it is expected that this rising trend will continue

Disasters have a huge negative impact on the lives of these people; their jobs and
assets are destroyed, vital services disrupted, infrastructure damaged, and the
environment people live in and depend on negatively affected

Humanitarian aid for victims of natural disasters and conflict has never been more critical

NGOs often face many constraints in an emergency, such as insufficient funding or
difficulties reaching people in need because of conflict or blocked roads
There is no longer any doubt that business plays an integral role in delivering

Case Studies Published by DEC
Indonesia, Philippines & Vietnam September 2009

The Disaster impact:
Great challenges in the Philippines & Vietnam where they had to mount relief operations despite bad
weather, electricity shortages, damaged infrastructure and some areas being inaccessible
343mmls of rain fell in Manila in six hours equivalent to a month of normal rainfall
2.5 million people affected by two typhoons and the flooding they caused
Elections held in the Philippines in May 2010 posed a challenge to cash-based projects, with
agencies needing to put in measures to counter the risk of political interference

Issues:
Additional translators were needed to communicate with ethnic minority people in mountainous areas
Difficult to reach in the early stages, as roads and bridges had been washed away


Mabey Bridge potential support:
Supply of bridges to allow supply of food and medicines in remote areas where roads and bridges
were completely destroyed

Case Studies Published by DEC
Haiti Earthquake January 2010

The Disaster impact:
The massive destruction of buildings, which were often perched on steep slopes, led to high numbers
of dead, injured and homeless people
After the quake there were 19 million cubic metres of rubble and debris in Port au Prince
Cholera broke out in October in an area not affected by the earthquake and spread rapidly

Issues:
As well as creating a huge level of humanitarian need, the devastation also destroyed much of Haitis
infrastructure, severely hampering the response efforts

Funds:
Donors gave a huge 107m to help people recover from the disaster which affected three million
people. About 1.5 million people lost their homes, 300,000 were injured and about 220,000 died

Mabey Bridge potential support:
Supply of bridges to allow supply of food and medicines in remote areas where roads and bridges
were completely destroyed

Case Studies Published by DEC
Pakistan Flood July 2010

The Disaster impact:
Third of the country was covered by floods which washed away entire villages of mud huts, ruined
crops and destroyed businesses, bridges and railway tracks
More than 12 million people saw their homes damaged or destroyed during the emergency
People also faced acute food shortages after farms animals were killed & 17 million acres of Pakistans
most productive farm land were submerged

Issues:
Shelter, essential household items, water and sanitation facilities were set up as fast as possible, but
the scale of the disaster meant it was not possible to reach all those in need
Many bridges were badly damaged or completely washed away.

Funds:
Within six months more than 16m of the 41m of funds raised directly by the DEC had been spent
helping nearly 1.8 million people

Mabey Bridge support:
During 2011, twelve of our Compact 200 bridges were constructed in the Swat Valley area of Pakistan
Our bridges fulfilled all of the requirements and provided much needed relief to the local population.

Mabey Bridge in Pakistan
Impact of Disaster: Mabey Bridge solution in 2011:

Mabey Bridge in Pakistan
Without bridges, many parts of mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been cut off
Men and women could not get to work
Children could not get to school
Pregnant women and sick people couldnt get to hospital
Groceries and food became scarce, so increasing their price

Over 20 steel bridges are now being used in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, thanks
to a successful partnership between the UKs Department for International
Development (DFID) and the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The new bridges, which vary in length up to 61 meters, replace those destroyed
either by the conflict in 2009 or the devastating floods in 2010

More than 1500 pedestrians are using each new bridge every day

The new bridges are top quality steel, designed to withstand large scale floods, and
whose quality should not deteriorate for at least 50 years
The new bridges mean people can get back to work, schools, and access markets &
healthcare, which is helping to address grievances & bring back stability to the province

Difference that Bridges Are Making
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Amer Haider Khan Hoti said:
We're working hard to reconstruct Khyber Pakhtunkwa after the huge damage done to our
infrastructure by terrorism and the devastating floods. Bridges keep the arteries of our
province flowing, and are essential to our prosperity and wellbeing. This warm
partnership with the UK is an excellent example of how we can work side-by-side to develop
our province. We will continue to collaborate with the UK, not only on bridges, but also on
education, maternal health, governance, and other vital matters.


Head of DFID-Pakistan George Turkington said:
The damage and disruption to Khyber Pakhtunkhwas infrastructure over the last few years
has been immense. These new bridges re-open vital transport links, bringing stability
and normality to the region; people now use them every day to get to work, school,
markets, and hospitals. The UK will continue to work closely in partnership with the
Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to build a total of 46 new bridges, which once
complete will benefit some 50,000 people every day.

A Case Study
The magnitude 7.2 Bohol Island Earthquake in 2013, caused
widespread destruction and hundreds of deaths.
Tens of thousands of structures were damaged, with many
completely destroyed.
Typhoon Haiyan sent 40,000 people living in temporary shelters
back into evacuation centres.
The earthquake severely damaged or destroyed several bridges,
hampering efforts to get relief to isolated communities in desperate
need of help.
The Solution
Mabey Compact 200 modular bridging
system was used to replace five
damaged or destroyed bridges on Bohol
Island
The most severely affected was the
Abatan Bridge that connects the capital
city to the rest of the coast towns in the
area.
Three of the five spans of the original
bridge had been completely destroyed
by the earthquake.
Mabey Compact 200 was used for its
ease of construction and rapid
installation and was modified to provide
additional stability.
The replacement bridge was 120 meter
long.


The Result

Substantial humanitarian asset
Compact 200 used on Bohol Island were from stock already held by the Department
of Public Works and Highways, which enabled a number of bridging solutions to be
constructed.
Mabey Bridge provided:
emergency response in the form of site engineers to assess damage and
recommend bridge specifications
extra components where needed to make full bridging sets
Mabey Bridges speed and fast response to disasters of such magnitude helped
deliver bridge components as soon as road access became passable.
Within five days components had arrived on site
Bridges were able to be completed and made fully operational just 11 days after
arriving on site
Compact 200 bridging was also used to address damage caused by landslides
following the earthquake
Because partnerships represent a new way of doing things, we
are looking forward for a successful collaboration between our
companys humanitarian aid asset and your organization.
