Beam bridges are designed with primary support beams under the bridge. Although less efficient than a truss bridges these bridges can be cheaper because there is significantly less labor involved than with truss construction. Axcess designs and installs both steel and FRP beam bridges. Both of these options provide long lasting solutions that will be around for a long time. The decision between a steel and FRP beam comes down to three primary factors: access to the installation location, span and corrosion exposure. Beam bridges are a good choice for bridge spans up to 60 feet.
Truss structures are the most efficient method to transmit the loading requirements of bridges to the abutments. Axcess designs and installs both steel and FRP truss structures. Both steel and FRP trusses are long lasting solutions that will be around for a long time. The decision between a steel truss and the FRP truss comes down three primary factors: access to the installation location, span and corrosion exposure. Truss bridges are a good choice for bridge spans from 40 to 100 feet.
Axcess Bridges specializes in Fiber Reinforced Polymer deck replacements of existing bridge decking. These are usually replacements of concrete or wood decks as well as rails to trails projects. Axcess Bridges designs and installs the FRP decking to bring modern, long-lasting technology to these applications.
