What We Do / Support of Excavation / Custom Modular Walers & Struts
overhead protection
structures
infraMOD’s Overhead Protection Structures shield active rail lines and roadways from falling loads, so crane work can continue overhead while traffic keeps moving below.
MODULAR SYSTEM
Deck-based overhead protection
DESIGN CODE
CAN/CSA S6 · S269.1
OVERHEAD
PROTECTION
STRUCTURES
A modular decking system providing reliable overhead protection above active rail lines and roadways — enabling safe crane operations while keeping transportation services running without interruption.
FIG. 00 — SYSTEM OVERVIEW
APPLICATION
A barrier above, uninterrupted movement below
OVERVIEW
Overhead protection structures are used where construction work must proceed directly above operating rail lines or roads. The deck acts as a barrier against falling loads, protecting the infrastructure and public below while allowing work to continue on schedule.
FIELD-PROVEN USE CASE
Crash decks installed beneath tower cranes operating over active public rail corridors.

DESIGN BASIS
Compliant by standard, conservative by design
FIG. 02 — STRUCTURE UNDER INSTALLATION
CAN/CSA S6
Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code
Incorporates prescribed load conditions, safety factors, fabrication, and installation requirements.
CAN/CSA S269.1
Temporary Shoring & Protective Structures
Governs fabrication and installation requirements for temporary protective works.
DESIGN MARGIN
Applying these rigorous standards to temporary structures results in inherently conservative design margins.
THE INFRAMOD ADVANTAGE
Why crews spec this system
01
Modular by design
Adaptable to a wide range of spans and site geometries.
02
Rated for heavy loads
Handles heavy construction equipment loads, well above standard vehicular traffic demands.
03
Proven in the field
Used on active infrastructure projects, including rail corridors beneath live crane operations.
