The Temporary Bridge Passerelle is a high-performance trench cover solution, designed to meet the practical and safety demands of construction and civil engineering projects. Manufactured from lightweight aluminium, this trench bridge is engineered for easy deployment, heavy-duty use, and reliable protection across open trenches and gaps on-site.
With an anti-slip surface integrated into every panel, this bridge ensures consistent pedestrian grip even in adverse weather conditions. Built-in toe boards and fold-away handrails enhance fall prevention, while lifting hooks allow quick, safe manual or mechanical movement. The bridge is designed for modular use and can be stacked, saving space in transit and storage.
From housing developments to utility upgrades, this solution meets the fast-paced demands of modern worksites. It’s available in four lengths to accommodate various span requirements and offers a high max distributed load per model. Clear compliance with safety protocols makes it a must-have for any active groundworks environment.

Construction Site Access: Where deep trenching creates temporary access hazards, this aluminium trench bridge offers a safe passage for operatives and engineers. It provides a stable span over excavations without compromising on mobility or setup speed.
Utility and Street Works: Ideal for telecoms, gas, and drainage contractors who need rapid deployment of trench covers in urban or residential environments. Its safety rails and anti-slip surfacing meet typical site audit requirements, reducing liability risks.
Housing & Infrastructure Projects: On developments where foot traffic must be safely routed over open works, this trench bridge offers a safe and secure solution. Its compact form also suits projects where space is at a premium or where temporary access points are rotated regularly.
Safety & Handling Features: All models feature built-in hooks for secure lifting by crane or crew, reducing injury risk during manual handling. Units can be stacked efficiently, reducing vehicle loads and allowing better management of site logistics.
Compliance & Risk Management: A well-documented installation risk assessment should always be conducted, including weight load checks, placement stability, and environmental considerations such as ice or debris. This product supports compliance with most UK site safety protocols when used as intended.
