Parapet clamp VARIOKIT VGK

Overview
For bridge projects with superstructure lengths up to 200 m, the VARIOKIT VGK cantilevered parapet bracket provides a penetration-free decking solution combining a separate platform and a separate formwork unit. Anchored to the underside of the bridge, it maintains unobstructed traffic flow on the superstructure.

Core product description
Lightweight, hand-mountable components enable manual handling and rapid assembly. The system separates the working platform from the formwork, ensuring that the deck surface remains free of penetrations and protects traffic underneath.

Key benefits

• Suitable for short bridge superstructures up to 200 m.
• Lightweight components for manual handling and fast installation.
• Separate platform and formwork unit create penetration-free decking to protect traffic below.
• Underside anchoring avoids interference with works on the superstructure top side.

All-round safety
Penetration-free decking provides continuous protection for traffic under the bridge and reduces falling-object risks.

Efficient working procedures
Manual assembly with continuous adjustability. The refurbishment anchor is two-part: the internal threaded sleeve is sacrificial while the anchor bolt can be unscrewed and reused, simplifying dismantling and lowering costs.

Installation and load-bearing behaviour
The refurbishment anchor immediately bears the dead load of the VGK bracket to allow rapid erection and reduced blocking time; the bracket becomes fully load-bearing after the composite mortar has hardened.

Reliability and system approach
Type-tested, rentable system with suitable anchoring options for a wide range of applications, supporting reliable scheduling and execution.
