The "plug and play" bridge

Complete access -
any station,
anywhere
The production of AVA bridge moves from the traditional "Industry 2.0" to a digital "Industry 4.0" with a focus on manufacturing rather than fabrication.
The configurable nature of the bridge design means that AVA can fit any station, anywhere.
With offsite manufacturing and rapid onsite delivery, we can install effectively with a 75% reduction in overall project programme time.
Our bridge is adaptable, cost & carbon effective and most importantly it's designed for the user to enable accessibility for all.

AVA Bridge
The bridge with NextGen performance & efficiency
Performance is of course key when developing bridge & lift systems. When you match this with AVA's cost savings from more efficient delivery & sustainability it's a real win-win.
Huge cost savings
The way we are designing and manufacturing these lifts results in on average a 33% reduction in capex.
Faster procurement
With an AVA bridge, we expect a 65% reduction in site time, a 75% reduction in the overall project programme, and a 60% reduction in railway possessions.
Lower emissions
Sustainability is a big part of what we do here at AVA too. The AVA bridge provides a step change reduction in WLC CO2e.
Better performance
With AVA Lifts you can expect a 200% increase in service life and a 100% increase in lift reliability.
Accessibility
AVA is designed to be safe and accessible. Reliability and usability are integral parts of the AVA lift methodology. The lift helps to provide equitable access for people walking, wheelchair users, bikes & trollies.
Network Rail-specific design
All our lifts are specifically designed to suit Network Rail installation with a new or existing footbridge. They are manufactured and assembled in Sheffield from configurable parts to work with bridge variables and are delivered complete with integral installation equipment.
The "plug and play" bridge
We are proud to be innovating new systems for this industry from the UK. AVA is a pre-configured, factory tested and ready-to-install bridge. Installation includes minimal disruption to the platform or foundation, whilst ensuring compliance with BS EN 81-20.
