Strong Growth for Aluminium Gantries

Gantries undergoing growth

The need for gantries is growing, both in Norway and internationally. This is mainly due to:

• Increased development of motorways, toll roads and ferry lines;
• More carriageways requiring information above each lane;
• The introduction of Intelligent Traffic Management (ITS) in several countries;
• Traffic that is "shaped" with sensors and signals over each lane.

For all new road projects in Norway, gantries play an important role. It is also becoming more common to construct gantries on existing motorways. When selecting a gantry solution, it is important to consider the following factors:

The environment and recycling
Effective recycling

Cost from a product lifetime perspective
Maintenance free for 30 years

Maintenance and repair
Aluminium does not rust

EU-requirements  ( EN 12767)
Doesn't fall down on the road

Norwegian Public Roads Administration requirements
