Bellbrook, OH
Heavy rains caused a creek to rise and carry debris downstream, which collided with a homeowner’s bridge foundation and caused it to wash out on one side. The ramp was also broken off of the main structure. Axcess was able to fix the damage and add long-term stability. Project requirements included:
A strong foundation was needed to withstand damage from flooding water and floating material when it rushes by. Helical piles were installed to stabilize the foundation and 4” x 4” galvanized steel post supports were used to secure the ends of the ramp.
Beneath the bridge, treated lumber was used as cross supports between the steel beams. This ensures that in the event water hits the side of the bridge, the cross beams will distribute loads from the water across the steel beams.
BRIDGE SPAN: 30 feet
BRIDGE WIDTH: 4 feet
BRIDGE WEIGHT: 2,500 lbs

This bridge spans a creek that frequently floods and would block the community from being able to access most of the walking trails.
Fiberglass decking is more durable than treated lumber and is maintenance free. See how we used it for a bridge deck at a national park. a national park.
A network of urban trails expands across a local creek thanks to special co-fabricated weathering steel beams and aluminum railings.
The Jackson Grant community has been working on an expansive walking path for the past several years as it continues to build homes in the development.
