    Applications
    Macalloy Tensile Solutions in Bridge Applications
    Over the years Macalloy Tensile
    Solutions have been at the forefront of
    architectural design and in particular
    the design of modern (supported/stay/
    bowstring) bridges.

    Macalloy has continually supported


    engineers in providing custom
    solutions to suit static, quasi static
    or fatigue loaded bridges. Macalloy
    Tensile Products can deal with the
    demanding work life of the new
    generation of multipurpose bridges,
    applications vary from lightweight
    footbridges to multipurpose tram
    and multi-lane road bridges.

    Macalloy is committed to buying ‘green steel’ in


    order to help our environment and reduce carbon
    emissions, our manufacturing process is based on
    recycled steel scrap and a Nordic fossil-free electricity
    mix. As a result, the carbon footprint of our steel bar
    is a full 80 percent lower than the global average.

    TROJA BRIDGE. Originally a cable stay bridge
    was redesigned using Macalloy Tensile Bars.
    This “slender” bow string arch bridge in Prague,
    Czech Republic was designed by Mott Macdonald
    and opened in 2014. This was the first bow string
    bridge to use a unique “Lattice” design of inclined
    tendons. The steelwork arch raises only 20m above
    its 200m long deck, the bridges height-to-span
    ratio was reduced from its original design height
    of 50m using inclined Macalloy Bar Tendons
    designed to disperse the load through the structure,
    and ultimately generating a 40% material cost
    saving. The bridge required specially designed
    fatigue components and fatigue testing on ALL
    configurations of bars.

    PONT SCHUMANN – This two arched stainless
    steel road and pedestrian bridge in Lyon France
    opened in 2014 and was designed by Flint and Neil.
    The carbon steel tendons are designed to support
    the feature triangular arch sections of stainless
    steel. The designer required 100% Ex-rays on ALL
    components, normalised bar material and spherical
    bearings throughout.

    KRAKOW BRIDGE – the new railway bridge over the Vistula River in Krakow
    in Poland. These three arched bridges utilise the unique ”lattice” design first
    introduced in the Troja bridge project to reduce the arch height and give
    a more “slender” appearance. Completed in 2020 with Austrian contractor
    Strabag this structure featured tendons fatigue tested to Category 84 stress
    range 104 using 85/90/100mm all fully tested and certified.
    GOLDEN JUBILEE BRIDGES – this award winning
    BAR STAY bridge probably the most iconic bridge
    over the Thames was designed by Lifshultz Davidson
    and Sandilands and engineers WSP and completed
    in 2002 and renamed to commemorate the Queens
    50th golden jubilee. This bridge consists of two
    pedestrian walkways suspended by Macalloy Bar
    tendons either side of the railway bridge. The two
    bridge decks are anchored to the various bridge
    abutments requiring a large number of engineered
    bespoke components including trunnion joints
    incorporating spherical seating to allow for a single
    design for different tendon inclinations.
