Typical Installation Process

Once we get an idea of your needs and interests, we normally set up an office meeting to discuss your needs, explain our process and discuss what we can offer as a solution to the project. If you don’t already have a set of plans and soil borings available we can order them for you and assist you in putting together the plans for your bridge.

Once we have the plans and soil borings in hand, we will meet on-site to walk you through the process of what we’ll have to do to put your bridge together and make the decisions on who will take on what responsibilities for the project.

We will generate a quotation for the project, either in a lump sum format or a combination of lump sum and time and material, depending on what aspects of the job we are, or are not in control of.

When the contracts are approved and signed, we will start excavation and concrete foundation work. Once we have established an appropriate cure time for the concrete, we will organize delivery of bridge pieces, our equipment and the manpower to start installation.

Actual installation of many of the bridges we set can take 1-2 days to complete when we have everthing in place. We will address leveling, caulking, taping,and grouting to the manufacturers specifications and then begin backfilling the bridge foundation based on the type of bridge you have ordered.

Once the bridge is complete, we will furnish the job with your custom requirements that may include anything from topsoil and seeding to stone facades, additional excavation, any general or specialized landscaping and pathways to and from the bridge
