Steel Truss Bridge Construction

A steel truss bridge is the right answer when the span is long but the number of piers in between has to stay low — because the riverbed is deep, the current is strong, or the traffic underneath cannot be disturbed. The truss carries its load through an arrangement of members in tension and compression, so a relatively light structure still holds a full vehicle load.

Most of the work happens in the workshop first: members are cut, drilled, and assembled into segments according to the shop drawings. What is left on site is splicing and alignment, so site time is far shorter than for a bridge cast entirely in place — often the deciding factor when access is difficult or the rainy season is close.

We handle it end to end: site survey, structural calculation, fabrication, erection, protective coating, and handover. Every connection is made to drawing and checked in stages — a bridge carries people every day for decades, so nothing about it should be left to guesswork. Tell us the span, the location, and the design loads you need; we will work through the sensible options with you before you commit.
