The name in bridge building

We are a dynamic, forward thinking international group specialising in structural steelwork and mechanical engineering.

Qualter Hall, in conjunction with Waagner Biro, is considered one of the world's foremost suppliers in bridge building. In particular, there is a growing demand for our modular bridges as more and more customers realise the advantages this system offers.

Based on the tried and tested basic concept of the lattice work structure, the modular concept of these bridges offers all the benefits of modern bridge building, and at the same time, it ensures a high degree of flexibility with respect to bridge width, span and load carrying capacity.

As a result, the specific requirements of very different countries can be met economically, rapidly and without difficulty, to the complete satisfaction of our customers.
