Abstract:
1. A module for making a floating bridge, comprising: a floatation tank comprising two floatation half-tanks hinged together around a hinged line to assume: an open position, in which the two floatation half-tanks are substantially aligned in a floating bridge configuration, and a closed position, in which the two floatation half-tanks are folded back upon each other in a container box configuration; and floating bridge elements enclosable within the floatation tank with the two floatation half-tanks assuming the closed position, the floating bridge elements comprising at least one treadway element movably mounted between: a stowed position in a lower part of one of the two floatation half-tanks with the at least one treadway element extending along a substantially longitudinal axis of the one of the two floatation half-tanks, and a deployed position in which the at least one treadway element is disposed substantially over the one of the two floatation half-tanks and extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis proximate to a median line of the one of the two floatation half-tanks.
