Typical Install

Crossing a stream shouldn't stall your entire project.

Traditional bridge construction means months of delays, complex permits, specialized engineering, and heavy equipment you may not have. There's a better way.

Project Delays

Traditional crossings can take weeks or months to engineer and construct. Your crews, equipment, and revenue sit idle waiting for access.

Permitting Headaches

Navigating federal, state, and local stream crossing permits is expensive and time-consuming. Prefabricated bridges dramatically simplify the process.

Escalating Costs

Custom engineering, site construction, crane mobilization, and specialized labor add up fast. Every week of delay costs you more money.

Environmental Risk

In-stream construction disturbs riverbeds, erodes banks, and creates compliance exposure. A prefab bridge minimizes site disturbance entirely.

One call. Four steps. You're crossing.

Each bridge ships as two modular deck panels on a standard flatbed. Your crew handles installation with equipment already on site.

1
Bridge panel being manufactured
We Build It

Your bridge is pre-engineered and fabricated at our facility in LeRoy, WV. Stress-laminated, steel-reinforced, and load-certified before it ships.

2
Bridge panels loaded on flatbed trailer
It Gets Delivered

Two deck panels ship stacked on a standard tractor-trailer, FOB our facility. No oversized load permits required.

3
Skid steer crossing bridge during installation
Your Crew Sets It

Unload and position with a backhoe, excavator, or skidder. Slide the panels together, bolt the connections, and attach the curbs. No crane needed.

4
Finished bridge with truck crossing
You're Crossing

Drive across the same day. Rated for up to 80,000-lb multi-axle loads. Use it temporarily, relocate it when the job's done, or leave it in place permanently.

What makes a timber bridge carry 80,000 pounds?

The answer is stress lamination — a construction method where dozens of individual timber boards are set on edge, side by side, then compressed together by high-tensile stainless steel rods running through the entire cross-section. The rods are tightened to extreme tension, squeezing the boards so tightly that they behave as a single, unified structural slab.

The key principle: The compression from the stressing rods creates enormous friction between every board. That friction is what gives the bridge its load-bearing capacity — not glue, not fasteners. The entire deck becomes a single structural element, and the surrounding steel channel frame adds impact protection and rigidity.

Engineered for the loads you actually need to move.

Seven models across two lengths. Every bridge shares the same proven modular design: two 6'-6" panels, 13-ft assembled width, 12-ft drivable surface, steel channel reinforcement, and a patented shear-key mating system.

AASHTO HS-20 Load Rated

Top models meet highway-standard load ratings for full-size dump trucks, heavy equipment, and emergency vehicles.

Reusable & Relocatable

Remove, transport, and reinstall at a new site. These bridges are built as long-term capital assets, not one-time-use structures.

CCA-Treated Southern Yellow Pine

Kiln-dried after treatment for dimensional stability. Engineered to perform in wet, harsh, and environmentally sensitive conditions.

Low-impact crossings for ecological restoration, conservation access, and trail networks in environmentally sensitive riparian areas.

Watch a bridge panel come together.

Every bridge is fabricated at our facility in West Virginia. Stress-laminated timber. Structural steel channel. Load-tested before it ever leaves the shop.

  • No on-site fabrication — arrives ready to install
  • Standard excavating equipment handles placement
  • Patented shear-key system locks panels together
  • Relocate and reuse — it's a long-term asset
  • Optional guard rails, portable abutments, and accessories
Steel fabrication — cutting structural channel with a torch

Serious engineering for serious work.

These aren't temporary mats or makeshift crossings. Every bridge is a pre-engineered structural system — #1 Grade southern yellow pine, stress-laminated with high-tensile stainless steel rods, encased in structural steel channel. The result is a unified deck that carries highway-rated loads across spans up to 30 feet.
