Where do you supply rural bridges to?
What maximum distance can you span?
Will my new farm bridge require any sort of certification?
Yes, your bridge will require a Code of Compliance Certificate (CCC). This is a formal statement issued from the district or city council that building work carried out under a building consent complies with that building consent. We can manage the building consent application and Code of Compliance Certificate.
How long does construction / installation take?
Typically a bridge will take between 2 to 3 weeks from initial construction to final completion.
Do I need resource consent for a new bridge?
You will quite often be required to obtain resource consent from the Regional Council if the new bridge is to be greater than 10m in length. We can complete this consent application on your behalf.
Are you able to repair my existing bridge?
Do bridges require hand rails?
Not always. But we typically put in pedestrian barriers which is defined as a post and rail system that restrains pedestrians/stock. They are normally 1.2m high and have spaces are not more than 300mm in at least one direction.
What sort of site access do you need?
What bridge types do you construct?
We build bridges with either steel or concrete beams.
Steel bridges would come with either wooden or concrete deck. Concrete surfaces come with broom finish for a non-slip surface.
