Bailey Bridge:
India has sent Bailey bridge materials to Sri Lanka for post-Cyclone reconstruction.
- It is a type of modular bridge whose parts are pre-built, so they can be put together quickly as needed.
- It is preferred because these bridges are designed for rapid construction in difficult conditions without the need for heavy equipment or sophisticated construction methods.
- The design supports heavy loads, including tanks and other military vehicles.
- Bailey bridge assembly covers a small area, which can avoid the situation that large hoisting equipment cannot enter the construction site.
- It is generally used in terrains that span rivers, valleys, and spans that are not very large.
