As per the World Health Organization (WHO), every year, around 90,000 people lose their lives, and close to around 160 million people are affected by natural disasters. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and wildfires, result in widespread destruction of roads, bridges, railways, and flyovers, among others, and also hamper rescue efforts. As per the data provided by the Insurance Information Institute, the total global losses due to natural catastrophes were around USD 10 billion in the year 2019. Japan accounted for the largest loss in 2019 due to natural calamities, followed by China.

Modular bridges offer an excellent solution during emergencies, such as natural disasters, and helps to quickly fix transportation lifelines and enables rapid post-disaster reconstruction. For instance, Acrow Bridge, in February 2020, used a steel modular bridge post heavy flood to restore critical road routes in Nebraska, the U.S. This bridge is expected to be under service for around 12 to 16 months till the permanent structures are fully restored. The key advantage of using modular bridges includes ease of setting up, can be loaded quickly, require low skilled laborers, uses standard tools and bolts and pins, among others.
