Trail Bridge Repairs

What This Service Involves

Regional trail agencies and parks departments hire us to repair timber, steel, and composite footbridges where decking, railings, or structural members have deteriorated. We replace failed deck boards, reinforce or replace stringers and connections, and restore railings to code height and infill spacing. Work in sensitive riparian corridors follows your permit conditions and best-management practices for water-quality protection. Structural repairs are coordinated with your engineer and built to the approved details.
