On 1 November 2026, the first bridge of the China-aided reconstruction programme broke ground in Gampaha, western Sri Lanka. The programme will rebuild 14 bridges destroyed by Cyclone Ditwah, nine of them under the emergency project standard — the moment Sri Lanka's post-disaster bridge pipeline moves from signed agreements into steel and concrete. For the Road Development Authority (RDA), provincial road agencies and their consultants, the message is clear: a multi-year cycle of bridge replacement, detour bridging and resilience upgrading has begun, and suppliers who can deliver fast, code-compliant, review-ready steel bridges will define how quickly communities are reconnected.
Evercross Bridge Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is an integrated manufacturer and exporter of prefabricated highway steel bridges. We have structured our design, fabrication and support services around exactly what this next phase demands.
The milestones of the past two months matter to every road agency planning its own replacement list. The implementation agreement for the 14-bridge China-aided programme was signed on 28 September 2026; the groundbreaking for Bridge No. 7 in Gampaha followed on 1 November, with two major contractors undertaking the works. Nine of the fourteen bridges will follow the emergency project standard — the delivery track created for disaster response, where approval procedures are simplified and construction windows are short.
Emergency-standard procurement rewards one thing above all: standardisation. Designs already pre-engineered to the client's loading code, components fabricated in the factory while substructure work proceeds on site, and erection methods that need no heavy crane fleet separate a bridge that opens in weeks from one that opens next season. This is where prefabricated modular steel bridges outperform conventional reconstruction.
A modular steel bridge is a system of prefabricated, bolted panels and transoms that assemble into a through-truss or deck-type span. For post-disaster rebuilding, the advantages are structural and practical at the same time:
Sri Lankan bridge engineering is distinctive: structural member design continues to follow BS 5400-3 for steel bridges and BS 5400-4 (1984 edition) for concrete elements such as abutments and substructures, while traffic loading has transitioned to SLS EN 1991-2:2014, the Sri Lanka Standard adopting Eurocode 1 Part 2. Evercross designs to this combined framework as standard practice, not as a special request.
In practical terms, our design office delivers:
For agencies working with their own consultants, we work as a code-fluent manufacturer behind the designer — supplying verified member designs, shop drawings and material certificates rather than a black-box product. For agencies procuring design-and-supply directly, we deliver the complete design package in-house.
As a trade-and-industry integrated supplier, Evercross controls the chain from raw plate to packed container. Panel modules are CNC-cut, jig-welded and inspected in our Shanghai facility; fasteners, transoms, decking and launch equipment are kitted against each bridge's bill of materials. Hot-dip galvanising is applied to suit tropical and coastal exposure — critical for Sri Lanka's humid lowlands and salt-laden coastal corridors.
Every project ships with mill test certificates and full material traceability, and multi-span orders undergo trial assembly in the yard before packing, so field bolting on site repeats a sequence already proven in the factory. Containerised shipments move to Colombo on standard ocean schedules, with component labelling arranged so site crews can sort, stage and assemble without re-measuring on the ground.
A steel bridge is only as fast as its erection. Evercross field engineers train local crews in panel assembly and cantilever-launch methods, supervise the first launching, and hand over inspection, maintenance and spare-part documentation for the client's asset register. For agencies operating multiple bridges, we support framework arrangements — pre-agreed specifications and pricing, staged deliveries, and an inventory recommendation sized to the agency's flood and landslide exposure — so that when the next washed-out crossing is reported, the bridge is already on its way.
Sri Lanka's reconstruction programme has shown what coordinated rebuilding can achieve. For the RDA, provincial road development ministries and their consultants planning the next tranche of replacements — under emergency standards or conventional procurement — Evercross offers a code-compliant, factory-driven and export-ready route to reconnect communities faster. Contact our international sales team to discuss spans, loading requirements and delivery schedules.
Yes. Our standard design basis applies LM1, LM2, LM3 and LM4 load models with explicit evaluation of combinations gr1a to gr6, while member design follows BS 5400-3 for steel and BS 5400-4:1984 for concrete elements. We issue complete calculation packages formatted for RDA and consultant review.
Fabrication proceeds in parallel with substructure construction. Depending on span and configuration, bridges can be fabricated, galvanised, shipped and assembled within weeks of order confirmation; on site, a trained crew can assemble and launch a single span in days, using light equipment.
Our modular systems cover clear spans from approximately 12 to 60 metres, in single-lane and double-lane configurations, from light rural traffic up to heavy highway loading. Multi-span continuous arrangements extend reach over wider rivers and flood channels.
All primary steelwork is hot-dip galvanised to suit humid and coastal exposure categories, with optional protective coating systems for severe marine environments. Bolts, pins and smaller components receive matching corrosion protection, and maintenance guidance is included in the handover documentation.
Both. The same modular system serves as an emergency detour bridge, a temporary-to-permanent crossing during multi-year reconstruction, or a fully permanent highway bridge designed for the specified design life — allowing agencies to standardise one system across emergency and capital programmes.
Yes. Beyond the national programme, we support provincial and local authorities with design-and-supply packages, framework pricing, assembly training and after-sales spares — scaled to programme size, from a single replacement bridge to a multi-year province-wide inventory.
