Sustainable Infrastructure

York Bridge Concepts believes infrastructure should enhance—not disrupt—the natural environment.

Timber bridges contribute by providing:

• Renewable building materials
• Carbon storage
• Lower embodied carbon
• Responsible forestry practices
• Long service life
• Natural architectural warmth

York Bridge Concepts has documented more than 48,000 tons of carbon savings through its portfolio of timber bridge projects while continuing to advance environmentally responsible construction practices.

Deck-Level Construction™ Protects Sensitive Sites

Many featured bridge projects are located in wetlands, floodplains, streams, and environmentally protected landscapes.

York Bridge Concepts’ proprietary Deck-Level Construction™ methodology allows construction to advance from the bridge deck itself rather than requiring heavy equipment beneath the structure.

Benefits include:

• Reduced wetland disturbance
• Protection of mature vegetation
• Reduced soil compaction
• Preservation of waterways
• Improved environmental stewardship
• Cleaner construction sites

This innovative construction process has become one of the defining advantages of York Bridge Concepts on environmentally sensitive projects.
