Vehicular Timber Bridges


When choosing a material to construct your vehicular bridge we suggest that you consider the many options timber materials provide.


Here at Tropical we utilize a design/build approach to create unique solutions for your construction projects. The implementation of a timber vehicular bridge can offer numerous advantages to enhance your overall project: a decrease in total project cost, a shorter project cycle, and an increased resistance to the natural elements. When confronted with a need for a vehicular bridge be sure to explore the options timber materials may provide. Historically, the use of timber materials has offered a more cost effective means to construction versus the use of concrete or steel materials. When compared side by side, the use of timber can provide similar structural integrity at a much lower cost. Timber materials are a much more pliable and workable material than concrete and steel allowing for more creative solutions and options. This can increase the options for your timber bridge to help maintain a more natural approach to your project. These options can help create a look that will be more closely matched with the rest of your project.

In most instances the implantation of timber materials over concrete and steel can meet and exceed all structural requirements set by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
