The Coastal Club Vehicular Timber Bridge in Lewes, Delaware, stands as a testament to this expertise. Designed to span a critical wetland area with limited access and minimal ecological impact, this project not only facilitated improved access to the burgeoning Coastal Club community built by Schell Brothers but also preserved the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. This case study details the challenges faced and the strategies implemented by YBC to successfully complete this vital infrastructure project for over 70 additional properties.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”14″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”15″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”16″ ][rev_slider project-coastal-club][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”18″ ][cs_element_layout_div _id=”19″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”20″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”21″ ][cs_element_text _id=”22″ ][cs_content_seo]The Challenge\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_headline _id=”23″ ][cs_content_seo]Overcoming Hurdles\n\nQuick caption here\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”24″ ][cs_content_seo]The primary challenge in constructing the Coastal Club Vehicular Timber Bridge was its location. Nestled within environmentally sensitive wetlands, the site had limited access, with only one point of entry. This constraint posed significant logistical and environmental challenges, demanding a construction approach that minimized disruption to the wetland ecosystem. The sensitivity of the area required meticulous planning and adherence to strict environmental regulations, making traditional construction methods not useful.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”25″ ][cs_element_video _id=”26″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”27″ ][cs_element_layout_div _id=”28″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”29″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”30″ ][cs_element_image _id=”31″ ][cs_element_text _id=”32″ ][cs_content_seo]Picture of temporary bridge for the Coastal Club Project\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”33″ ][cs_element_text _id=”34″ ][cs_content_seo]The solution\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_headline _id=”35″ ][cs_content_seo]Experience & Ingenuity Create The Path\n\nQuick caption here\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”36″ ][cs_content_seo]To overcome these obstacles, YBC employed a creative and environmentally conscious construction strategy. The cornerstone of this approach was the installation of temporary piling bents. These structures served as a temporary bridge, enabling the safe and efficient transport of materials and equipment across the sensitive wetland area. This method not only protected the wetlands from potential damage caused by heavy machinery and frequent traffic but also ensured that the project adhered to environmental guidelines and constraints.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_layout_row_2 _id=”37″ ][cs_element_layout_column_2 _id=”38″ ][cs_element_button _id=”39″ ][cs_content_seo]Sustainable Construction\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column_2][/cs_element_layout_row_2][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”40″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”41″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”42″ ][cs_element_text _id=”43″ ][cs_content_seo]The Process\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_headline _id=”44″ ][cs_content_seo]Construction Of The coastal club timber bridge\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”45″ ][cs_content_seo]The construction of the Coastal Club Vehicular Timber Bridge began with the careful placement of the temporary piling bents. These were strategically positioned to bear the weight of the materials and machinery needed throughout the construction phase. Following this setup, the team commenced the main bridge construction. Each phase was carried out with precision, from the setting of the foundational supports within the wetland bed to the installation of the timber decking, renowned for its durability and natural aesthetic. Throughout the process, YBC maintained a flexible approach, ready to adapt to the challenges that arose from working in such a delicate environment.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”46″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”47″ ][cs_element_button _id=”48″ ][cs_content_seo]Collaborating With YBC\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”49″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”50″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”51″ ][cs_element_text _id=”52″ ][cs_content_seo]Outcomes & benefits\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_headline _id=”53″ ][cs_content_seo]Advantages of The Coastal Club timber bridge\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”54″ ][cs_content_seo]The completion of the Coastal Club Vehicular Timber Bridge marked a significant achievement for YBC and the Lewes community.
