Iron pedestrian bridges

In recent years in our country, with the highways being renewed daily and increasing in number, pedestrians' need for lanes has increased due to the increase in the number of cars on the roads and especially because the main roads between cities are located in the middle of central locations. Especially in big cities, hundreds of our citizens lose their lives every year while crossing the road from one side to the other. The best alternative to solve this problem is to increase the number of pedestrian walkways. Pedestrian paths can generally be divided into lower and upper paths. As a result of the observations made, the upper pedestrian walkways were found to be healthier, cleaner, problem-free and safer than the lower pedestrian walkways. Looking generally at our country, it is clear that steel and concrete are the basic elements in the construction of overpasses. Steel structures have many advantages over concrete structures. We can mention some of them as follows:
Why should stainless steel be used in overhead walkways?
1-Stainless steel is a more durable material than wood and concrete.
2-Stainless steel is more resistant to earthquakes. Because the modulus of elasticity of steel is 21 times that of wood and 10 times that of concrete. This means a more favorable behavior to stability problems, dynamic loads and vibrations.
3- Larger openings can be overcome with smaller sections.
4-Stainless steel can be designed into desired shapes according to architectural characteristics, while maintaining strength and beauty.
5- Since most of the production stages take place in the workshop, working time on site is reduced and thus energy and time are saved.
6- There is a possibility of change and reinforcement in steel building elements. Plus they can be removed and reused. 7- The consumption value and secondary value of stainless steel are high.
8- The economic life is from 80 to 100 years.
9- Maintenance is easier.

Gürmak Metal Sanayi Ve Tic. A.Ş is an organization that has turned into steel pedestrian bridge business in recent years, thanks to the extensive experience it has gained from steel construction manufacturing in which it has been involved for many years, and has proven itself with nearly 600 steel pedestrian bridges. The bridges it built all over Türkiye and abroad. In addition, it has become one of the leading companies in this business in our country with its staff specialized not only in manufacturing but also on a project basis. Our company's principle is to serve our employees by manufacturing steel pedestrian bridges faster, more reliable, more aesthetic and more useful.
