No matter where your project is, your bridge is exposed to the elements. Whether it's salt water exposure, ice, snow, rain, or heat, aluminum is simply a better, longer lasting material. Even in mild environments, conventional materials such as steel and wood, deteriorate and must be maintained. Our pedestrian bridges promise to retain their appeal through years of harsh treatment at the hands of nature.
Steel versus Aluminum
For decades, steel has surpassed concrete and wood in the building of pedestrian bridge structures. Today, modern engineering and design have allowed this same superiority from aluminum. Aluminum has become the foundation of design for racecars, spacecraft, and jetfighters because of its exceptional strength to weight ratio and longevity. With aluminum, you get the best of both worlds.
• Aluminum is lighter than steel and concrete. You will need less foundation support, saving time and money on labor and installation.
• Aluminum does not need painting or protective coatings, which will lessen the environmental impact and reduce maintenance costs of the bridge.
