Bridge Types We Construct

Expertise across all major bridge classifications and span lengths

Beam Bridges

Simple and cost-effective bridges using pre-stressed concrete or steel beams for short to medium spans. Ideal for highway overpasses and river crossings.

Span Range: Up to 200 feet Materials: Concrete, Steel Applications: Highways, Local Roads

Arch Bridges

Aesthetically pleasing bridges that use arch compression to support loads, ideal for crossing valleys, rivers, and creating landmark structures.

Span Range: 200-1000 feet Materials: Concrete, Steel, Masonry Applications: Scenic Crossings, Landmarks

Cable-Stayed Bridges

Modern bridges with cables running directly from towers to the deck, offering elegant solutions for long spans with minimal intermediate supports.

Span Range: 500-3000 feet Materials: Steel, Concrete Applications: Major River Crossings

Suspension Bridges

Bridges with main cables suspended between towers and vertical suspenders, ideal for the longest spans across major waterways.

Span Range: 2000-7000 feet Materials: Steel Applications: Longest Span Requirements

Advanced Construction Methods

Innovative techniques for efficient and safe bridge construction

Balanced Cantilever

Construction method where segments are added symmetrically on both sides of the pier, ideal for long spans over obstacles where falsework is impractical.

Minimal falsework required Suitable for long spans Progressive construction Over-water capability

Incremental Launching

Method where bridge superstructure is constructed behind abutment and pushed into position, ideal for consistent spans across valleys or obstacles.

Minimal disruption below Consistent quality control Safe working conditions Weather protection

Pre-cast Segmental

Construction using factory-produced segments assembled on site, offering superior quality control and rapid construction progress.

High quality control Rapid construction pace Weather independent Minimal site disruption

Steel Erection

Specialized techniques for erecting steel bridge components including cranes, launching gantries, and floating equipment for complex installations.

Lightweight components Rapid erection process Long spans possible Design flexibility
