Quality bridges built on a reputation that spans generations.

Each pedestrian and light vehicular bridge is competitively priced and built to the industry’s strictest quality control standards. Our bridges blend in beautifully with their natural surroundings, designed for use on golf courses, waterways, parks, bike and equestrian trails, wildlife areas, and business complexes nationwide.

What sets our bridges apart is how we put them together. We use the finest materials for greater durability on all our bridges. Decades of experience are pre-engineered into every bridge to handle maximum loads. The combination of quality design, strength and variety make our bridges your best long term investment.

The Value of Design

  • Pre-engineered in 4′, 6′ and 8′ deck widths with spans ranging from 16′ to 80′
  • All standard wood components (except decking) are glulam Southern Yellow Pine (SYP), decking is 2″ x 6″ SYP
  • Hardware used to connect glulam components is galvanized steel
  • Bridges 4′ and 6′ wide and up to 60′ in length are shipped completely assembled
  • Bridges 8′ wide to 60′ in length are shipped with railings assembled but not attached

Engineering

Specification information is available upon request for all of our products.

A full set of shop drawings are included with each product. We reserve the right to change specifications at any time to reflect product improvement.

The Value of Strength

  • Laminated posts, stringers, and diaphragm beams spaced for maximum load capacity and structural integrity
  • Computerized strength analysis, combined with individualized information helps select the best bridge for your application
  • Pre-engineered based on 85 PSF live load, 12 PSF wind load with the deflection limitation L/300 for live load

The Value of Variety

  • Camber structures available – curved to compensate for dead load deflection or to accentuate natural terrain
  • Can be manufactured with a minimal camber or maximum allowed camber of 8.3% to meet ADA compliance. Higher camber are available for bridges that do not have to meet ADA compliance
  • Various railings options available – available in a four rail with curb and five rail systems
  • Vertical railings are also available but will not be laminated
