TRAIL AND ACCESS

TRAIL & ACCESS

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES

Ground screws are increasingly being used to support pedestrian bridge installations where access, environmental considerations or programme constraints make traditional foundations difficult.

By removing the need for large concrete pours, bridge foundations can often be installed with less disruption to the surrounding area. This can be particularly beneficial on footpaths, parks, golf courses, nature reserves and other locations where excavation works need to be kept to a minimum.

Bridge Foundations

Every bridge project is different. Ground conditions, bridge spans and loading requirements all influence the foundation design.
Ground screws can be used to support bridge abutments, approach ramps and associated structures, providing foundation points without the need for extensive excavation works.

This approach is often considered where:
Access is restricted
Ground conditions are challenging
Environmental impact needs to be reduced
Construction programmes are tight

Working Alongside Bridge Specialists

We work closely with established bridge manufacturers and installers to deliver foundation solutions that meet the requirements of each project.

This includes partnerships with companies such as Bison Bridges, helping ensure foundations are designed and installed to suit the bridge structure, loading requirements and site conditions.

Parks, Estates & Public Spaces

Pedestrian bridges are commonly installed in locations where traditional foundation works can create significant disruption.

Ground screw foundations are regularly considered for:
Parks
Country estates
Nature reserves
Golf courses
Public footpaths
Educational campuses
Visitor attractions

Because installation requires relatively small working areas, disruption to surrounding land can often be reduced when compared with traditional concrete foundations.

From Testing to Installation

Where required, we can carry out load testing to determine the most suitable foundation solution for the project.

Working alongside engineers, bridge suppliers and contractors, we help ensure the foundations are ready before the bridge installation begins.
