YBC
is committed to designing the proper bridge for your individual crossing.
YBC offers three span types that can be modified depending on the terrain,
your budget, and your aesthetic requirements.
PILE
- SUPPORTED
Pile-Supported structures are supported
by timber piling at regular intervals (typically
10 to 15 feet on center). A Pile-Supported structure can be
built to any length and virtually any height.
FREESPAN
Glu-lam
Freespan - Glu-lam bridges can
freespan over 100 feet. This makes a Glu-lam Freespan
the ideal choice for road overpasses, bridging steep ravines and creating
a crossing where pile foundations would be prohibited are a few examples
of situations where a glu-lam span may be recommended for you.
Timber Freespan - Timber
Freespan bridges can freespan up to 26 feet.
A Timber Freespan is generally used to span a creek or other relatively
small crossings. Timber Freespans are both a cost effective
solution and a great alternative to unattractive culverts.
COMBINATION
Combining Pile-Supported
and Freespan sections to create your unique crossing may
be an effective solution for you. Your YBC Sales Rep can review
your site to recommend the length, location and number of freespan
sections that will be combined with pile supported sections to create
the best solution for your project.
