The object of the study is a pontoon link, where the role of the bearing structure is performed by non-standard pipes. Construction of surface bridges is widely used in bridge construction and is an essential part of the development of transport infrastructure of our country and abroad. In the case where it is not possible to build capital or low-water bridges, surface bridges or ferry crossings are used. Built-up bridges are very convenient to use in the construction of capital bridges, when the main course of the route is blocked instead of temporary stationary bridges. In order to compare the application of the developed solution, an approximate calculation of the cost of the pontoon was made. Analysis of costs in the market of analogues showed that the cost of only the bearing structure of a pontoon of similar load capacity based on plastic pipes, will be much higher than the cost of pantone out of non-standard. The study examined the possibility of using non-standard pipes for the construction of weld bridges. Non-standard pipes are a promising material for construction of weld bridges due to buoyancy, low cost, such pipes are easily available raw materials.
