Experience in innovation The MAURER Group is a steel con­ truc­ ion company and has been s t family-owned since it was formed back in1876. The MAURER Group is currently one of the global technological leaders in steel and plant construction in various spe­ ial­st fields. We offer products and c i solutions which are particularly notable for their du­ abil­ty, quality and r i dependability. Four areas of application for a customised structural protection system An important part of our activities is monitoring climatic, seismic and trafficbased forces and movements which have an impact on buildings,...

Maurer Services >> INSTALLATION Our specialists are ready to advise and assist customers in every project phase. We professionally install our systems in new buildings and existing structures. This becomes especially clear when it comes to replacing and refurbishing these systems. We have therefore developed a modular expansion joint structure with the MMBS which also enables road use while the replacement expansion joint structures are being installed and modified. >> MONITORING A MAURER monitoring system can be used to permanently record and monitor all forces, movements, accelerations and...

Temperature fluctuations and traffic volumes change the length of larger bridges by a matter of metres. An expansion joint which can move freely and safely transfer the traffic loads is therefore integrated at the end of the bridge. HMval Russky Island Bridge, Vladivostok, Russia >> GIRDER GRID EXPANSION JOINTS A For use in bridges with a guided bearing. Maximum torsional rigidity of the centre beam Long service life and efficient control Economical for minor to moderate movements >> SWIVEL JOIST EXPANSION JOINTS A For use in bridges with complex movement requirements and earthquakes. No control...

Maurer Structural bearings Spherical bearing made from MAURER sliding alloy MSA® Movements and significant forces – Bridges and high-rise structures sometimes lead an eventful life. MAURER structural bearings used worldwide ensure that this strain does not have an long term impact on the structure for as long as possible. Allianz Arena, Munich/Germany >> MSM® SPHERICAL BEARINGS Ideal solution in terms of sliding properties, bearing surface and service life. Aging-resistant thanks to the use of MSM®, MSA® and steel Significant rotations and extreme vertical and horizontal loads Smallest possible...

Maurer Tuned mass dampers Cable dampers in production Tuned mass dampers protect structures against harmful vibrations, regardless of whether they are caused by people, traffic, machines, wind or earthquakes. Donau City Tower, Vienna/Austria >> UNED MASS DAMPERS (TMD) T A major factor in the ease of use and service life of the structure. Already active for very minor structural movements Adapted precisely to the structure thanks to narrow manufacturing tolerances Damping of vertical, horizontal and rotational vibrations Also available as a semi-active design to ensure maximum efficiency >> CABLE...
