Bridge location

Bison Bridges supplied a 7-metre by 1.2-metre pedestrian bridge engineered to provide dependable performance in demanding outdoor environments. The structure features our SureGrip-Duo anti-slip timber deck boards, chosen specifically to enhance underfoot safety in all weather conditions. This dual-grip surface delivers excellent traction even when wet, reducing slip risk on a route that remains open through every season.

One of the key advantages of the Bison specification is the use of long-life galvanised steel beams. These beams are a standard feature across our bridge range and form the backbone of the structure, offering strength, rigidity and a significantly extended service life compared with traditional timber-beam alternatives. By opting for galvanised steel, the client effectively removed the need for frequent and costly replacements, ensuring that the bridge remains structurally sound for decades.

The bridge was supplied in kit form, ready for installation, allowing the contractor to work efficiently on a tight schedule. Once assembled, the structure blended seamlessly into the natural landscape while providing a modern, high-performance crossing that will stand up to continuous use.

This project highlights the advantages of choosing a Bison pedestrian bridge for countryside access, public footpaths and rights-of-way improvements. The combination of galvanised steel beams, SureGrip-Duo anti-slip decking and precision manufacturing results in a bridge that is strong, reliable and built for the long term. It demonstrates how an upgrade from a traditional timber beam design can deliver meaningful savings over the lifespan of the route, reduce maintenance needs and improve safety for all users.

For contractors and land managers seeking a durable pedestrian bridge solution that performs beyond expectation, this installation shows exactly why Bison Bridges continues to be a trusted choice across the UK.
