EVERCROSS BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY (SHANGHAI) CO., LTD., a leading Chinese manufacturer of prefabricated modular steel bridges, has been officially awarded a contract to supply three sets of HD200 heavy-duty Bailey bridges for infrastructure developments in Papua New Guinea, signalling the company’s increasingly mature market footprint in Oceania’s challenging island-terrain infrastructure sector.
The awarded project comprises three independent HD200 double-row single-layer Bailey bridges: one bridge with a 9-metre single span and two bridges with 12-metre single spans. All bridges feature a clear carriageway width of 4.2 metres and are fully designed in strict accordance with the Australian AS 5100 bridge standard, adopting the Australian T44 vehicle load specification widely recognized for public road infrastructure across Papua New Guinea. To withstand PNG’s humid tropical-marine climate with heavy rainfall and high salt atmospheric corrosion, all steel components undergo complete factory hot-dip galvanizing treatment. Raw material selection, professional welding procedures and anti-corrosion galvanizing processes are fully implemented complying with AS 5100 standard requirements, ensuring outstanding structural stability and long-term durability under harsh local operating conditions.
Papua New Guinea features rugged mountainous landscapes, dispersed river crossings and limited access to large-scale hoisting equipment, generating substantial demand for rapidly deployable modular steel bridge solutions. HD200 Bailey bridges adopt fully prefabricated truss panels suitable for containerized ocean transportation. On-site assembly can be completed without heavy mobile cranes, significantly shortening construction timelines for remote worksites. Once installed, these bridges will act as dependable all-weather crossings for local highway traffic, freight trucks and construction machinery, resolving critical bottlenecks within fragmented regional transport networks.
Building on extensive overseas project delivery experience, Evercross delivers one-stop full-cycle services covering customized structural calculation compliant with AS 5100 Australian bridge standards, factory pre-assembly inspection, complete import-clearance documentation, professional on-site installation technical guidance and long-term spare-parts provision. Proven project references from Nepal and other Asia-Pacific markets provide solid technical backing and reliable construction experience for this Papua New Guinea awarded project.
Securing this three-unit HD200 contract enables Evercross to build authoritative local project references, optimize regional supply-chain logistics and further enrich its engineering experience in Oceania-standard projects. The Papua New Guinea market has become well-established and mature for Evercross. Moving ahead, the enterprise will continue delivering high-quality, standard-compliant modular steel bridge solutions for road upgrading, resource-sector access and post-disaster reconstruction works in Papua New Guinea and wider Pacific island nations.
