Material Options


Tropical Construction Services LLC works primarily with heavy timber members to create large scale timber vehicular bridges, timber pedestrian bridges, boardwalks, docks, piers, shelters and retaining walls. In our experience there are numerous benefits to building with timber materials:

 

·         Most Cost Savings

·         Resistance to the Elements

·         Shorter Project Life-cycle

·         Minimal Environmental Impact

 

In Today’s market there have been incredible advances in material technology. There are now numerous alternative materials provided to replace some or all the timber materials used in bridge and boardwalk construction. Although these materials come at a slight cost increase the benefits they provide outweigh their initial investment. Alternative materials can increase the lifespan of your structure, minimize structural maintenance, provide different aesthetic options, and eliminate harsh chemical treatments.
