TEMPORARY BRIDGE SOLUTIONS
Short-Term Installations. Long-Term Standards
Temporary Bridge Solutions
Temporary bridge access is often critical in times of disruption, development, or transition. Toriggo’s modular steel bridge systems offer a proven, practical solution for short- to medium-term applications where conventional construction is either too slow or cost-prohibitive. Designed for speed, reliability, and reuse, our temporary bridging solutions have supported hundreds of kilometres of detours, emergency routes, and phased infrastructure projects across Southern Africa.
We specialise in fast-deployable structures that can be installed with limited equipment, disassembled when no longer needed, and redeployed elsewhere—without compromising on safety, strength, or compliance.
Practical, Reliable, and Built for Rapid Deployment
Our temporary solutions are based on the same modular principles that underpin our permanent structures, reconfigured for flexibility and mobility. These solutions are ideal for road authorities, contractors, and organisations needing fast-track access to restore connectivity or maintain traffic flow during planned works.
We supply bridges in pre-engineered, containerised sections that can be installed by small teams using hand tools or light machinery. In many cases, installation can be completed in days minimising disruption to critical routes and communities. Once the bridge is no longer required, it can be demounted and stored for future use or relocated to another site.

Applications of Temporary Bridge Solutions
Our temporary systems are ideally suited to:
-
Bypasses and detours during bridge replacement or roadworks
-
Emergency access following flooding, washouts, or structural failures
-
Phased construction where staged access is needed
-
Temporary mining or construction haul roads
-
Disaster relief infrastructure in high-risk or climate-sensitive regions
System Advantages
-
Speed: Most bridges can be installed in under a week depending on span and conditions.
-
Mobility: Fully demountable and reusable with no permanent foundations required.
-
Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for repeated investment in new structures.
-
Minimal Equipment Required: Designed for assembly with hand tools and small teams.
-
Compliant Design: Meets AASHTO and EN standards where applicable for temporary use.
-
Long Service Life: Although used temporarily, all components are built for repeated deployment over many years.
Modular Options
Toriggo offers temporary solutions based primarily on our T200 Modular Panel Bridge System, which allows for single-lane or dual-lane access, pedestrian walkways, and load configurations suitable for general traffic or heavy equipment.
Bridges are supplied with clear documentation and can be deployed by clients directly or installed with support from Toriggo engineers and trained site supervisors. Where required, temporary abutments, ramps, and gabion works can be included in the scope.
Supporting Local Capacity
Temporary projects often call for rapid response and community engagement. Toriggo supports local labour involvement in installation and disassembly, helping to build capacity even during short-duration deployments. We also provide training to road agencies and contractors using our systems in their own field operations.
