urb-x Modules

1 Toolkit
The urb-x system comprises straight and curved elements with different lengths and radii. They are designed to enable any track you need.
2 Junctions
We also provide junction modules. Roundabout modules allow several sections to be joined together.

Two versions

1 Standard version
The standard version features elegantly engineered trapezoidal block girders paired with a slim carbon-concrete slab, creating a structure that integrates seamlessly into its surroundings.
2 Lightweight version
By combining an efficient box girder with lightweight steel grating coated in a durable active travel surface, we minimize both cost and weight.

Interfaces

1 The interfaces
Urb-x modules are compatible with any type of support structure. The system includes elastomeric bearings, which can be optionally combined with shear links in regions with higher seismic activity. We provide all essential technical data needed for the design of foundations, columns, and abutments.

Durability

1 Wood Protection
Damage to timber structures often results from poor design and construction. Urb-x elements are engineered for a lifespan of over 100 years, following the principle of constructive moisture prevention, a key factor in long-term durability.
2 Predictive Maintenance
Urb-x elements are optionally equipped with humidity and acceleration sensors to detect changes in moisture content or vibration response at an early stage. The system has also been designed for maximum controllability and accessibility. Timely maintenance can therefore be guaranteed, which leads to a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs.

Norm-compliance

1 We follow all relevant standards
All urb-x elements are designed in compliance with the Eurocode framework and as well as country-specific norms and standards (e.g EN, ZTV-ING, ERA etc. in Germany or SIA in Switzerland).

Options

1 PV modules
Railings with optional PV modules provide both the necessary safety and power generation. The energy can be used for the optional heating system or simply be fed back into the power grid.
2 Deck heating
The optional integrated deck heating ensures safe and non-slip conditions even in sub-zero temperatures and snowfall - without any further effort.

Operation & maintenance

1 Operation

Operating our cycle highway is simple and straightforward: snow removal, cleaning, and emergency vehicle access function just like on a conventional road.

2 Maintenance

Like any bridge structure, urb-x modules require periodic maintenance, with annual costs of approximately 1% of the initial investment.
Optional integrated sensors monitor changes in moisture content and vibration behavior, enabling targeted interventions that further enhance efficiency and extend the system’s lifespan.
