Which Solution Fits Your Project? Pontoon Bridge or Modular Bridge?
Both systems are temporary, modular, and quick to install. The difference lies in the structure, site requirements, and required traffic loads.
Choose a pontoon bridge when:
-
Water depth and current are suitable for pontoons and anchoring
-
Navigational clearance is not required or may be temporarily restricted
-
You need a temporary, relocatable bridge that can be installed and removed quickly
-
You are looking for a solution for pedestrian flows, site access, temporary construction logistics, or events
Choose a modular (demountable) bridge when:
-
Navigation or water flow must remain unobstructed and a raised load-bearing structure is required
-
Higher traffic classes or axle loads are expected (such as construction traffic, emergency services, or heavy transport)
-
The site is less suitable for pontoons due to strong currents, large water level fluctuations, or navigational requirements
-
You need a solution for diversions, renovation projects, emergency bridges, or construction site bridges

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who can supply temporary bridges or pontoon bridges in Belgium?
Janson Bridging supplies and installs temporary modular bridges and pontoon bridges for pedestrians and (heavy) traffic.
How quickly can a temporary bridge be installed?
Depending on design and permits, often within a few days to a few weeks. A clear schedule is provided during the intake phase.
Is a pontoon bridge suitable for heavy traffic?
For heavy traffic, we generally recommend a modular bridge. Pontoon bridges are ideal for pedestrians and light traffic, provided the site is technically suitable.
Which permits are required?
This depends on the waterway authority, municipality, or event. We provide technical input and a clear checklist.
What are the key site requirements?
Water depth, current, bank conditions, navigational requirements, access routes, and required traffic load. Based on these, we determine the appropriate bridge type.
Can you work at night or during weekends?
Yes. Installation and dismantling can be carried out outside peak hours or on a 24/7 basis in urgent situations, by arrangement.
