Bridges

 

By their very nature, bridges are expensive pieces of road
or track (up to 100 times the cost per unit length!) FCE
specialises in finding solutions which recognise the unique
nature of bridges but also acknowledge the economic
situation in which most of the bridges will be built.

Choosing a solution is no easy task. It is not easy to meet
all the criteria. The most obvious difference to public road
bridges is that most of the rural low cost bridges that we deal
with are short, single span with a single lane width. FCE 
has long standing experience of designing and building road bridges, e.g:

• Temporary Bridges (e.g Bailey)
• Prestressed Concrete Bridges
• Reinforced Concrete Bridges
• Composite Bridges (or the longer span)
• Steel and Timber Bridges

FCE is also the acknowledged leader in rural footbridge design and construction. Over the years we have built many variations of footbridge for example:

• Timber Log (Not that we would recommend that nowadays!)
• Timber Truss
• Timber Beam And Decking
• Steel Beam And Timber Decking
• Rangers' Footbridge (Utilising aerial masts)
• Stressed Laminated Arches
