Queens Engineers have created the world’s biggest flatpack bridge

QUB Civil Engineers are changing the bridge-building game forever with their creation of the world’s largest flatpack bridge.

Obviously, said bridge is too good for Belfast and will be built in Portsmouth. A devastating loss for the city.

Designed as a “flat movable polimeric membrane” this “FlexiArch” system was invented by a Queen’s Engineer, and honed with the backing of a Northern Irish concrete company, Macrete.

The new bridge will be sixteen meters long, and will weigh over an astonishing 272 tons.

Those are some really fascinating facts for you to use next time you wish to impress someone.

It might look a bit like this

The bridge design was pioneered by Queens, and if the construction is successful, it could be in use for over three centuries. Golly!

The project manager and engineering Einstein Abhey Gupta has described the bridge in fascinating detail :  “This innovative system is exceptional as it is easily transported in flat pack form and then rapidly installed on site.”

You’re swelling with pride right now aren’t you

However, as progressive as this is, three hundred years is very little time when compared to the Pons Fabricus in Rome, a bridge with over two thousand years of continuous use.

The FlexiArch may be good, but it’s not quite up to Ancient Rome standards. Disappointed in you QUB.
