Building Forestry Bridges

Trees take decades to grow but access, timing and cost are always critical

We design, construct and install bridges that take all your forestry concerns into account. We have vast experience working alongside forestry companies to meet your operational needs while balancing health & safety, regulatory, environmental and consent demands. Engaging with bridge experts upfront will ultimately save you time and money as your trees mature and harvest approaches. Our streamlined project management and forest industry expertise will deliver the most cost-effective solution for your block.

Optimal Design

Our bridges suit your unique forest block and are built to last. They’ll safely carry the heavy load required and will withstand a 1-in-50 year flood at a minimum (and often double that).

On-Time Delivery

Timing is key in forestry. We can work to the tightest of timeframes and will have your bridge in place where and when you need it.

“Thanks to your efforts to support us through this project we have been able to provide safe access to the forest for the dozens of people whose workplace it will be over the coming years.”

We’ll visit your site

During our obligation-free site assessment, we’ll evaluate the optimal location for your bridge, consider potential flood water heights, address NES-CF and/or council consent requirements, discuss load requirements, and take all crucial measurements.

Our process

What type of bridges work best in the forest?

We have a number of different bridges designed to carry heavy forestry loads including steel beam bridges, submersible, temporary and relocatable options.

A well-designed bridge is a cost-effective investment. They are built to last and withstand extreme weather, require less ongoing maintenance, are an environmentally-sensitive solution favoured by councils, and can be installed year-round.

About us

Why work with us?

Bridge It NZ is an award-winning company that has delivered hundreds of small to medium sized bridges (6m-50m) since 2009. We work closely with forestry companies to provide cost-effective bridges that can be used over multiple harvests – and even across multiple locations thanks to our clever designs which can allow for disassembly and relocation.

We are the only bridging company in New Zealand to offer submersible bridges designed specifically for the forestry industry, and we customise each project to suit your forestry site and infrastructure needs.

Our bridges meet the loading standards required for logging trucks and heavy machinery such as skids and haulers, and we know how to strike the right balance to meet both environmental (NES-CF) regulations and local council demands without it costing the earth.
