New Bridge Restores Access To Valuable Whenua
Case StudyA small timber bridge on a Horohoro dairy farm was swept away by flood waters in 2018, preventing its Māori landowners from accessing six hectares of valuable land southwest of Rotorua.
The Steel Beam bridge is ideal for sites that are difficult to access. Steel structures are either galvanised, zinc thermal-sprayed or painted for improved longevity. Bridge It NZ can tailor a package that suits your loading requirements, either 0.85HN, HN HO 72 or overweight requirements.
Offers high strength to support vehicles and heavy loads such as logging trucks. Can be built to 0.85HN and HNHO-72 standards.
Designed for various spans, widths, and loads. Adaptable for complex geographies and terrains.
Prefabricated decking and superstructure options enable quick installation. Adaptable to any site; on-site assembly option for projects with access constraints.
Combining steel and concrete creates a composite structure where the materials work together to resist loads. Concrete handles compressive forces, while steel beams carry tensile loads.
A concrete deck is wear-resistant, withstanding weather and corrosion. This bridge lasts for decades with minimal maintenance.
Steel beams make this bridge easier to inspect and maintain than full concrete structures; repainting and reinforcing them can extend its life.

Time sensitive harvest operations and restricted road access were key factors in the decision of Aratu Forests to engage Bridge It NZ to deliver a customised bridging solution for their Gisborne site.
